This is goodbye.
I'm both devastated and relieved to write this post.
I set up Nordic Stork during lockdown so that my Neurodivergent children would be able to have the opportunity to run a 'family business', to have autonomy but most importantly to have an opportunity. But the reality is that we are no longer a family business and have not been for a long time now.
My marriage didn't survive the battle to fight for our son to access education.
I'm now a single mother, holding down a senior job full-time and running this business - it is no longer sustainable.
I'm also on my own journey, coming to terms not only with the breakdown of my marriage but my whole childhood.
Dealing with the practicalities of having the most wonderful, enlightening but challenging children is bittersweet. I'm breaking the cycle of generational abuse and unacceptance but am triggered daily with why the little me wasn't deserving of what I provide my own kids.
It is a lot and I need to focus on coming to terms with the above, my own Neurodivergence and a lot more.
I want to thank you ALL for your love, support and custom.
All in that order.
A few years ago, I'd have persevered with this, despite it killing me ....but I've grown into someone I would like to get to know a lot better and that's what I'm off to do
It's likely to include music.
The website will shut this week and then, this account.
I love you all.
Take care 🫂
