Hey guys, it’s been awhile and it’s time for an update 🫶
It brings me great sadness to say that I will not be opening shop at SVRC Marketplace right now. There’s no major reason or falling out behind the decision, and this definitely is not me giving up on expanding our journey. The truth is, over the past two months my anxiety has spiked rapidly and I’ve been in and out of panic attacks. Not because we aren’t ready to take the next step as a business, but because myself personally… I’m not ready yet.
We all take different paths and steps in life. Sweets And Boujee has grown so incredibly fast, and I am beyond grateful and excited to continue this journey with all of you. But I’ve realized that I’m unfortunately not fully ready to leave my nest of comfort yet and honestly, neither are my children. Sometimes slowing down is necessary, and sometimes protecting your peace has to come first ❤️
So what does this mean for Sweets And Boujee? What happens next?
First, I want to say how thankful I am to have met Mrs. Rachel from ❤️ She’s not just the head director of a rapidly growing small business marketplace! she’s an absolute rockstar and such an amazing advocate for small businesses. When I opened up to Rachel about everything I’ve been going through, she didn’t judge me, pressure me, or make me feel like I was failing. Instead, she understood, reassured me, and reminded me that whenever I’m ready, there will still be a spot for me at the Marketplace 😭❤️
Over the next few months, Rachel and I will be working together to schedule one-day Marketplace events for mini cheesecake orders and candy fruit orders 🥰🫶 So no we are not stepping backwards. We are simply easing into the next chapter in a healthier way.
These past few months have taught me so much about stepping into the “real” small business world. It honestly amazes me how many things you never truly understand until you experience them yourself. One thing I have learned is this: never give up on your dreams. Slowing down is okay. Learning healthy habits is okay. Being healthy is important ❤️
With all of that said, I’m going back to being a one woman crew for now and honestly, I’m excited to fall back in love with creating my masterpieces again 🥹❤️
Thank you to every single one of you who continue to support, encourage, and follow along on this journey. Your love means more to me than you’ll ever know. Sweets And Boujee is still here, still growing, and still dreaming big… just one step at a time 🫶✨
