With it being world mental health day I thought id take a moment to talk about things.
Running a small business is one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done, but it’s also one of the hardest.
Changes throw me off, routines slipping out of place can feel like the ground shifting beneath me. The pressure, the uncertainty, the constant need to adapt… it can all take a toll.
As a business owner, it’s easy to pour everything into keeping things going, making sure customers are happy, bills are paid, and everyone else is okay and forget to check in on yourself. But your mental health matters just as much as your to do list.
Today, on World Mental Health Day, I want to remind myself (and anyone else out there juggling a dream, a family, and a thousand little moving parts) it’s okay to pause. It’s okay to feel overwhelmed. It’s okay to take care of you.
Small business owners are resilient, but we’re also human. 💚
