Such wonderful growth! You have come a long way and have really learned who you are! You are showing your little girl how very important it is to ensure YOU take care of YOU! Well done, Emma, well done!
Thanks for such a lovely vlog. Dealing with Scoliosis and ongoing immunotherapy, watching your vlogs gives me inspiration to get on with my craft business. Watching your vlogs is also very calming, so thankyou and keep doing what you do. Always do something that makes you happy 😊❤
I have severe allergies with asthma. I've lost track of how many times I'd been hospitalized. The pandemic was the best thing that happened to me. I got laid off and I was told to stay isolated for my health. I also discovered a different way of eating and lost 55 pounds. I discovered the beauty of how much better I felt and my mental health soared! Now I'm semi-retired and self-employed. I haven't been hospitalized since 2018. I've resolved just about all my health issues except the allergies. If you are miserable and always sick something is wrong. I've started a small business but since I'm older I'm being very deliberate so I don't over extend both physically, mentally, and financially. Starting over in your 60's is a challenge.
That’s such a good way to look at it actually! I think we’ve normalised being miserable and sick to a certain extent and don’t take it for the warning sign it is. That plus there often feels like there isn’t another path to take. It sounds like you’ve had an amazing transformation! You should be so proud. It also sounds like you have a really good approach making sure you look after yourself xx
Hello Emma, first of all thank you for sharing your story with us. I watched every minute of this video and it feels like a friend is talking to me. I live alone and doesn't really socialize much (due to busy sched) and doesn't have anyone to share my love for stationery and stuff. So many parts of your story resonates w/ me-- especially the part of so many things we want to do at once but also it's impossible. 🤣 I will definitely try to apply all the methods you shared in this video. One step at a time. :) I hope 1 day I could also be able to do the things I love. All the best for you, your family and your business! ☀🩷
Thank you so much ❤️ I think I’ll always want to do everything at once which is fine, because at least I’m kinder to myself when I recognise I can’t! Xx
I hadn’t realised I came in at the start, it seemed like you’d been around a while. You have good right to be so proud of yourself on how far you’ve come and how much you’ve learnt. You’ve flown so high since you re-branded, so definitely the right choice. I’m looking forward to seeing how much higher you go. I needed to see this today. I knew you’d be a fab mam, your love and passion already shine through, enjoy this journey, you’re gonna be amazing xxx
Aww Lynda you’re so lovely. You really helped support me and build my confidence through some hard times 🥰 I’m so grateful. And now here you are encouraging me on my parenting journey! Currently watching her giggling away and throwing toys for the dog ❤️ xxx
That’s a great video Emma. I’m sure I have undiagnosed ADHD and this really resonates with me. I have started a small craft business and my biggest problem is starting too many things and getting so distracted by new ideas that I don’t finish them. I think I have to figure out how to use planning like you. 💜🌞
Thank you! I’ve come across so many neurodivergent people in the small biz community - maybe because we’re creative and also traditional employment doesn’t work for us for different reasons. I actually have a video coming out tonight about things I wish I did sooner in my business, and I talk about accepting I can’t do it all - so you might be interested in that. I’m terrible for taking on more than I can really handle because I have so many ideas and things I want to do! But I’m getting better at it ❤️
I would love to start a small business from my crafts but have no faith in myself. I too have fibromyalgia along with other issues. I haven't worked for 2 years now and feel a bit left behind. I have started doing a psychology degree this year at a local to me Uni. All the best for the future e for you and your little family 💞💞
Thank you so much. It took me a long while after working to feel up to do anything and then it had to be very slow and steady. Well done for starting your psychology degree! Start small and your faith in yourself will grow bit by bit ❤️
Such wonderful growth! You have come a long way and have really learned who you are! You are showing your little girl how very important it is to ensure YOU take care of YOU! Well done, Emma, well done!
Thank you so much 🥰 this means a lot xx
Thank you for sharing and you can see how your face lights up when you mention your little girl. Enjoy being a Mummy Emma xxx
Aww thank you Jenny! 🥰🥰
