Finding My Groove 💃

I love to dance.

And lately - I’m finally starting to feel like I’m not just trying to keep up… I’m actually boogying.

Because somewhere between the chaos, the tears, the late nights, and the “what am I doing” moments… I started finding my rhythm.

Not perfectly.
Not all at once.
But little by little.

And here’s what I know for sure now:
I cannot carry everything.
I can’t be all things, to all people, at all times.

And honestly - That was a hard pill to swallow.

But here’s what I can do:
✨ I can nail my turnaround time
✨ I can show up consistently
✨ I can keep learning and improving

I’ve also learned this one (and it took me a minute):
I won’t be everyone’s cuppa tea.

And that’s okay.

Because trying to please everyone - That’s a fast track to burnout.

So instead, I focus on this:
Being proud of what I do have.
What I am building.
And how I show up.

Because at the end of the day—
I know I’m a kind person.
I care deeply.
And I genuinely want people to have a good experience with B&B.

And that, it matters more than perfection.

I also learned a few things the hard way…

Pre-sales?
Exhausting.
A lot of work.
And if I’m being honest… a bit of a nightmare 😅

Live sales though? That’s where it’s at.
They’re fun.
They’re engaging.
They’re rewarding.
And they actually light me up.

And bead trends?
Let’s just say… They change fast.

Like… blink and you’ll miss it fast.

So staying flexible and not overcommitting to “what’s hot” has been a big lesson too.

Am I still learning? Every single day.

Am I still growing? Absolutely.

Am I still on the roller coaster? Oh, 100%.

But now? I’ve got my footing.

And maybe even a little groove.
