Hey everyone! I want to come on here to share some of my experience since starting this business journey if that’s ok with you.
Social media has never been my forte, so I’ve really struggled to keep up with this page. When I first started out, so many people reached out to me and I was ecstatic and grateful to see that I could actually make my living working for myself. If you know me, it’s probably not a surprise that the excitement quickly turned into overwhelm. It’s been heavy on my heart to get on here and truly thank everyone who has been kind, supportive, and understanding. I have met some incredible humans and their pets, and I am eternally grateful for all the connections I’ve made over the past year!
In the last ~6 months or so, I have been on a separate journey with my mental and overall health. I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety for most of my life, but I always knew those diagnoses weren’t fully addressing the root of my problems. Being on this mental health journey means I’ve went through a few medication changes, which affected every aspect of my life. The side effects can be brutal and made it extremely difficult at times to show up for myself and my clients. Once i finally found what worked for me, I felt it was time to seek further testing for what I have always thought was the elephant in whatever room I’m in. I recently received an official diagnosis for ADHD (combined type). I feel like my life struggles are finally being validated because I went so long believing I was “stupid” or “lazy”. Now that I’m learning to live my life through a neurodivergent lens, with the help of an amazing therapist, I feel a sense of freedom and deeper understanding for myself. With all this being said, I want to say another huge THANK YOU to the people that never shamed me for my struggles with being on time. Also point out that some people are the complete opposite with time. I like to believe that together, we create balance in the world. I tried the whole “between this hour and this hour” kinda like the cable man does, but I would still find myself running behind. I’m the kind of person that has always taken my sweet time with everything because I like for things to be done correctly and thoughtfully. I take great pride in my work and function better in life when I’m being 100% transparent.
This next section is going to be about this summer. It has been excruciatingly hot and unbearable to work in my grooming trailer. I’m pretty much in financial ruin presently because I haven’t been able to use my trailer at all. It’s not insulated well and my generator doesn’t power everything with my ac unit for more than an hour or two. It’s unrealistic for me to have to fill it with gas in the middle of a groom with a dog hooked up on my table. Many clients have been kind enough to allow me to plug my trailer into their homes, which saved me before summer hit. When I started running my ac, it would trip the breaker at their house and I felt terrible everytime it happened. I knew that wouldn’t be sustainable. The only jobs I have been doing are the ones where I’m able to use their bathroom and tub. I understand that not everyone can facilitate that. I started this business because I wanted to take that stress off of pet owners. So I’m going to wrap this up now because this is the longest post I’ve ever written in my entire life.
