IS THE JUICE WORTH THE SQUEEZE: AN INTRO

It’s been a few months now since our business closed. How do I feel? All the things… Good, bad, weird, ashamed, embarrassed, sad, you name it, I’ve felt it. Was closing our business our decision? No. Was it in our control? Is anything really in your control when you’re in business? I know I should feel proud and accomplished, but I don’t know if I’m there yet. Along with that and the current state of the world (hello global pandemic) I’m still processing most of my feelings.

The purpose of this blog is really to move through these emotions and flush them out. Things might get ugly. I might cry. I will probably laugh, a lot! And I hope you do to. If you’ve ever owned your own business or thought of it I hope you find some joy in this series. I will try my hardest to be raw and vulnerable which isn’t easy for any of us but I truly believe there is so much value in sharing not only the wins but the losses. Maybe more value in the L’s.

This series is going to jump around from pre, post, and current events, from co-owning my own business. It will basically be verbal diarrhea from my brain, while I process everything and where I am currently. So bare with me as we ride this journey together!
