Hi everyone,
I don’t usually make posts like this… especially not on both my personal and professional pages, but I want to be honest and upfront.
If I’ve been hard to reach, slower to respond, or not as present as I normally am, I truly apologize. That’s never how I want to show up—whether it’s with friends, clients, or anyone really. Reliability means a lot to me, so this has been especially difficult to navigate.
The truth is, the past few years have been challenging (lots of changes, my health changes, my pericarditis, etc.), and this year has been no exception. I’ve been dealing with ongoing health issues, including chronic pain from a back injury that has been worsening over time. It’s begun to affect my day-to-day life more than I’d like to admit - physically, mentally, and emotionally.
I’ve always tried to keep a positive outlook and push through things quietly with a smile, but at a certain point, it feels more honest to simply say: right now, I am struggling.
Some days, even the basics take everything I have. It is painful just to exist at times, and that has started to take a toll on me in ways I didn’t expect - including making it harder to feel the same passion for things I love. That’s been one of the hardest parts to accept.
That said, please know this: I am still here. I am still working. I still care deeply about my projects and the people in my life, or those I work with. That hasn’t changed, but I just may be moving a little slower as I work through this.
I am also actively trying to build a stronger support system so I can take care of my health without letting my work suffer. Right now, I’ve been struggling to find consistent and reliable help, which has made things more difficult, but I am continuing to work on it, and I’m hopeful I will have that support in place soon.
I hate feeling like I’m falling short. I hate that this is impacting how I show up. (Especially for a business that I built from the ground up.) But I also know that ignoring it won’t fix it, and being honest is a better step forward.
All I ask is for a little patience and understanding during this time. It truly means more than you know.
I am trying. Every day.
And I’m not giving up.
