The feeling of burnout is part exhaustion and also fear. I worry that I’ve shuffled through my first decade of being a mother and I’m trying to discern what’s best for my girls for the next decade. They are growing, maturing and I have no doubt that I’ve been able to teach them good and beautiful things through operating and running Ramble & Co. However, I worry about my ability to be truly present with them during critical and formative years. They support me, encourage me, and are my biggest fans when it comes to design, colors, and products we curate for the shop. My husband, Ryan, is the most supportive human and I can’t imagine doing life without him. He has comforted me, listened and allowed me to sit in my thoughts and fears.
Well, I would be lying to you if I said I haven’t sat in this feeling and complained about it. For a few months I let it completely take over and I was having a hard time finding the joy around me. Then one day, around the first of March, I flipped the switch. I decided that I could shift how and what I worked on each day. I could be present with a more positive outlook on my work/life balance. Instead of feeling the weight of all the work and expectations, I could lean on my team more than I ever have. I’m consciously working less, I’ve started outsourcing a portion of our printing, and I I’m making time for myself, my thoughts, and my family. If I had to pick one word for this year it would be “trust” which is playing off my phrase for last year, “do less with more intention”.
I hope this episode finds you well. I encourage you to journal your goals for the future, the things you desire for your day-to-day, and the fears that are controlling you. I am excited to share that I will be continuing my role at Ramble but making space to pursue consulting. I am currently still working on getting my website and social media up but I do have a survey I would love for you to fill out for me!
