Summer Thoughts & Life Hurdles
Can I share something with you?
At the start of summer I started feeling anxious about life in general … again.
I had not felt that anxiety since the start of the pandemic in 2020. Back then I freaked out about the future of Elevated Style, being at home homeschooling my 8 and 10 year old boys full-time, and bickering with my husband more. That’s real talk.
We survived. Then fast forward to today.
I couldn’t put my finger on why this anxiety popped back up all of a sudden.
Then I realized this … life started to really open back up full throttle, and so did I.
Automatically, I was pulled in different directions personally and professionally with commitments. I instantly started putting pressures on myself, in my family and work life like… I “should be”, I “could be”, I “need to” etc etc.
So just like with any other transition in my life, I turned to my core support squad and therapy. I’m so thankful to have both of those outlets throughout my life.
Transitions can be tough. However, one thing is clear, it’s easier with the right support.
I had to recalibrate, slow down, and refocus on my word of 2021, JOY.
It’s helped me to realign. I’m focused on bringing more joy to myself, my family, AND my clients. I’m also starting to explore more opportunities of joy and passion for me, like more public speaking in person, and possibly dabbling in media!
I know some of you reading this may also be going through shifts right now.
My share today is to simply say, I feel you, I hear you, and me too.
We are all just trying to make it happen. A beautiful, and sometimes messy work in progress!
So if it ever comes down to it, that you feel you need support to feel more confident wearing and choosing your wardrobe, yet don’t have the time to figure it all out yourself, you know how to find me.
It’s beyond the clothes.
I help women through life transitions, so you can show up feeling AND looking good for that next chapter you’re after!
