They say you can’t keep all four burners high at the same time... and honestly? They’re right. 🔥
If you haven’t heard of the Four Burners Theory, imagine life as a stove with four main burners:
1️⃣ Family
2️⃣ Health & Sleep
3️⃣ Friends
4️⃣ Work & Business
The theory says that to keep one burner roaring, you usually have to turn down another.
Running a growing tallow business while balancing real, messy, everyday life means the stove is always on. When we're pulling late nights hand-rendering batch after batch, the Sleep or Friends burner might drop down to a low simmer for a week or two.
When it’s time to switch gears and be fully present with family, the Business burner takes a step back to let things breathe.
And that’s the secret nobody tells you: Balance isn't having every burner on high at once. It's knowing how to turn them up and down without letting the whole stove go cold.
Some days we go with out as much sleep as we’d like. Some days we focus just on family. Some days we are hard at work on the business. We are realistic though and know that whilst raising a family, we won’t be able to do everything we want right now, but that doesn’t mean it won’t happen; it just won’t be exactly when we’d love it too.
We constantly remind ourselves to be compassionate about what we don’t know, what we can’t control and what has to be a priority at the time.
Thank you to everyone that has jumped on this journey with us 😍
May your stove not go cold as we all navigate this wild ride called life 🥰
