I have a confession to make…
I did the one thing I said I’d try never to do, and I burnt out.
Not from client work, not from having too much on my plate, but from the pressure I was putting on myself.
When you work solo, it’s really hard not to. There’s always that little voice in the back of your mind telling you there’s more you could be doing, more you should be doing.
But in reality, sometimes you just need to slow down.
Being ambitious is great, and seeing other people succeed online can be inspiring, but it can also be incredibly damaging.
As somebody who works in social media, I realised I needed to take a small step back from what I was consuming. I’d spend my spare time scrolling, and before I knew it, my brain went straight back into work mode.
During my talk at NTU, I spoke about the importance of prioritising wellbeing, and that’s exactly what my focus is right now.
Not going overboard trying to find new clients, or get stuck in the doom-scroll, but to actually go outside, touch grass, and reconnect with people I’ve unintentionally put on the back burner while growing my business.
Because at the end of the day, success means nothing if you’re too burnt out to enjoy it, right?
If you’re reading this and feel the same, I’m here to tell you that you’re not alone and prioritising yourself shouldn’t feel like a luxury. It’s essential.
So, here’s to making more space to grow my business in a more sustainable way with less pressure, more balance, and without losing myself in the process. 🫶
