Hey friends!
This comes incredibly difficult for me to say. Many tears were shed while typing it out. I still can’t find the right words to express all my feelings but I’m going to try.
As most of you know, I am moving back to Texas soon, much closer to friends and family. I haven’t lived close to my people in 7ish years. It’s time for me to pour myself into being a mom, wife, and friend while focusing on my job.
I have decided to close Alex Paige Co. The last few months have been incredibly difficult for me in many ways. I wanted so badly to pour myself into this business, my job, and my personal life but balancing it all became very difficult for me…physically and mentally. Also social media is soooo hard. 😂
I have learned so much over the last year about myself. Things I never imagined I’d learn. I’ve met some of the most incredible people. Had the sweetest interactions. And had so much fun doing it. I wanted so badly to love what I was doing, and for the most part I did, but there were times it honestly sucked the joy out of my days. If you’re a business owner, you probably know the battle. If you’re not, give small businesses owners some grace. Ive battled with the algorithm game, where I’m not seen. Became obsessed with numbers. I’ve battled with so much excitement over sales or a product launch, that get no sales. It was this crazy number mind game that was not good for me mentally. Content was a whole other story. I applaud all of the business owners who are kicking ass. I never in a million years thought I would close my small business, it was end game for me. I wanted to be a full time small business owner. Maybe one day I will be, but right now is not the time. I think that’s okay though. It’s okay to recognize when something isn’t filling your cup, taking a step back and focusing on the things that will. I think it’s important for your mental health.
If you want to follow along with my life still, go follow my personal page!! . I will be here, cheering all my small business friends on, loudly.
