💕 A little life update from behind the scenes…
Ahh, this is a post I’ve been putting off because it’s a pretty vulnerable thing to share. But I think it’s important to remember that behind every small business is a real person, and sometimes, even when it’s hard, we need to put ourselves first. 🫶
Some of you may have noticed that my social media activity has slowed down a little and my message responses haven’t been as quick as usual. I’m really sorry if you’ve been waiting on a reply, and I truly appreciate your patience.
This is always one of the busiest times of the year for me, and if I’m being completely honest, it’s been feeling incredibly overwhelming lately. Between running my business, caring for my own animals and trying to keep up with everything life throws at me, I’ve found myself stretching a little too thin.
I absolutely love what I do, and I would happily spend every spare minute making sure your fur babies are looked after. But I’m slowly learning that I can’t pour from an empty cup, and taking care of myself is just as important as taking care of everyone else. 💗
I’ve been trying to step back a little, slow down where I can, spend some much-needed time with my own animals and give myself the space to breathe.
As much as I’d love to keep squeezing everyone in, I have been encouraging clients over the past few months to pre-book, especially heading into this time of year. Unfortunately, I’ve already overcommitted myself, and I’m starting to feel the effects of that both mentally and physically.
So, for the remainder of the year, I won’t be taking any after-hours appointments. I’m genuinely sorry to anyone this may inconvenience, but I need to give myself a little breathing room so I can continue showing up for your fur babies with the care, patience and love they deserve. ❤️
Being a young small business owner is something I’m incredibly proud of, but it also comes with a lot of pressure that people don’t always see behind the cute photos and happy pups. Sometimes, I put so much pressure on myself to make everyone happy that I forget I’m allowed to slow down, too.
I’m going through a bit of a rough patch at the moment, and while it’s not always easy for me to admit when things are hard, I’m trying to remind myself that it’s okay not to have everything together all the time.
To everyone who has been patient with me, checked in, offered kindness or simply given me a little extra understanding lately, thank you. You have no idea how much it means to me, especially right now. 🥹💕
Thank you for supporting not only my little business, but the person behind it, too. I never take your support for granted, and I hope you can understand why I need to make this little change for myself.
I’m looking forward to catching my breath, spending some quality time with my own animals and seeing you and your beautiful fur babies again soon.
Sending lots of love to you all. 🫶🐾
