I stayed up past my bedtime last night to listenā girl, you speak to my HEART!! I so appreciate your insight into the birth community side of things, too. Iām right there with you on all counts. And you totally nailed it with the validation piece. When I opened my bow business, I had SO much positive feedback and lots of purchases and things have slowed a bit lately (a mix, Iām sure, of me kinda dropping the social media ball and also people arenāt really doing a lot of āfor funā shopping right now), but the lack of positive feedback has me feeling like I want to run and hide! Itās just so great to know those feelings arenāt unique to me, and Iām grateful for the reminder to push through the fear of failure ā¤ļø You are just such a joy to listen to and so insightful and compassionate!
