In 2020, we stepped into entrepreneurship during one of the most uncertain times - and while the world was shutting down, we were building. Our businesses. Our brands. Ourselves. ✨🧘🏽♀️✨
This weekend, I had the absolute pleasure of reconnecting with two incredible women - Victoria () and Jasmine () - fellow female owned small business owners who have been part of this journey with me since the very beginning. We’ve celebrated wins, weathered losses, and we’re still navigating the aftershocks of the pandemic.
This meetup was more than a catch-up - it was a reminder. Of how far we’ve come. Of the grit it takes to keep going. Of the power in community and honest conversations about the real side of business. 🗣️💬
Truthfully, there were many moments over the past year when I thought about closing down for good. I felt out of the scene, unsure if I’d find my way back. But this time away also brought growth - and I’ve got so much to share from the experiences I’ve gathered along the way. 🗺️🧭
This meetup? It gave me the energy and inspiration I didn’t know I was missing. And now I know, without a doubt:

So here I am - 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬, just as I was always meant to be. 🥹
I know so many of you started your businesses around the same time - and it hasn’t been an easy road.

Drop it in the comments - let’s share some wisdom and remind each other why we started in the first place. 💯
