Taking a break from Blue Jay

A couple of week ago I published a blog about wanting to quit. At the time of writing, I really believed I was past the feeling. The day after the post went live however, I was hit by a wall of exhaustion and the feeling came back stronger than ever.

I go into more detail in the video below, but essentially it was like the culmination of blogging and sharing my life online in some form or another since 2008 suddenly got on top of me and I couldn’t take another step forward.

So I’ve decided to take a break, release the pressure on myself and give myself the space I need to figure out what I really want.

It feels scary and liberating at the same time, but I know in my bones that space and time is what I need right now. The one thing I want to keep up is my newsletter. It won’t be as consistent as before, much more me sharing when I have something to share, but this has always felt like a safe space for me to talk about what I’m going through so it feels right to continue doing so here.

I also have an e-book written and ready to be designed called Growth Spurt: Sprout + Seedling all about identifying limiting beliefs and taking those first steps towards discovering your worth. Originally I was planning on selling this but have now decided to give it away to my newsletter list when I finish designing it.

So if you want to keep in touch and get your hands on the e-book, subscribing to my list is the best way to do so,

I don’t know when I’ll be back or what work I’ll be sharing when I do, but I’m excited to see what grows in the new space I’m creating.
