Feeling Stuck Lately (Being Real With You)

Hey — it’s been a while.

I usually post something here every week, but I haven’t written anything in over a month. And to be honest, it’s because I’ve been feeling stuck.

Business has been quiet. I haven’t had a client in 3 months, and that’s been tough. It’s affected my motivation, my confidence, and honestly, my energy to show up online.

I Still Love What I Do

The thing is, I love my job. I love meeting every single client. I love hearing your stories and being even a tiny part of them. It’s such a privilege.

But if I’m honest, this past year has felt like such a struggle just to be seen. The work isn’t steady, but the running costs of the business are. And that’s made me start to question everything — the business, the direction it’s going in, and even my future career.

13 Years Out of the Traditional Workforce

I haven’t worked in any other job since I was pregnant with Grace — that’s 13 years. And I keep thinking… if I didn’t do this, what would I do?

I’ve poured so much of myself into this business that the thought of walking away feels like losing a part of who I am. My identity has been wrapped up in being a creative, in showing up for my clients, in building something that’s mine.

The idea of starting again — in a new job or a new industry — is honestly terrifying. Where would I even begin?

The Feeling of Not Being Seen

And this feeling of not being seen — it’s more than just algorithms or engagement. It’s not just about bookings or likes. It’s about wondering if the work I care so much about is still landing with anyone.

Still Showing Up (Even in the Mess)

It’s been a hard few months. I’ve been questioning a lot.

But one thing I do know is that Sharing helps. And even if I don’t have it all figured out right now, I want to keep showing up — not just when things are going great, but when they’re messy too.

You’re Not Alone

If you’re in a similar place — feeling stuck— you’re not alone. I’m right there with you. These seasons pass, even if they feel endless while you’re in them.

Have you ever been through a time like this in your business or life?
I’d love to hear about it — feel free to share in the comments or message me privately if that feels better.

Thanks for reading.
