I launched my dream business at 25 years old in a town of 500 people. I started making jewelry and hosting fun, wild events, watching in shock as my social accounts exploded.
Red Brick Boutique quickly grew into a thriving store and I started to feel like “this is the life I’ve always wanted.”
My entrepreneur life slowly turned into something unhealthy without even noticing. I was always at the store or thinking about it.
I'd answer emails at stoplights, check orders during dinner, and “handle something quick” on my phone
When I really wanted to be fully present with my family.
I could hear the voice calling me into the unknown but I resisted, reasoning with myself…..
At 30 years old, I had a thriving store on the brink of a second location. Plus the glamorous lifestyle of traveling all over buying and selling. My fashion shows were completely sold out and my competitors were sitting in the audience. All in a town of 500 people.
The other stores wanted sponsorships and help with their advertising from me. It was awesome. WHY would I walk away from all that?
The last day of my boutique owning days came when I was running from my burning home at 11:49pm with only my one year old in my arms.
One month later my dad died suddenly.
Those two events pushed me to be honest about what I wanted. I decided I had to know what would happen if I followed the voice. So I gladly sold my store to an amazing human and committed to a two day work week learning how to coach.
I tried all the coaching things, but something didn’t feel quite right. Somewhere in between ad writing, high profile consulting and living room coaching I lost myself. And in my frustration of “this isn’t working” I just kind of let it all go.
That decision led me into two full years of recovering from American business owner life as usual.
I didn’t realize it at the time, but of course letting go of my life was exactly what would give birth to the person I am today. And it would teach me the practices I use now to lead others into the profitable, peaceful life.
