“If this is what success feels like, I don't want it.”
In 2021, I made one of the hardest decisions of my life. I closed the hair salon I'd spent years building.
From the outside, I had everything I'd worked towards. A successful business, a team of seven and a career I was passionate about.
But behind the scenes, things looked very different.
I was exhausted, overwhelmed and completely burnt out. Somewhere along the way, I'd lost myself.
At the time, I didn't fully understand why I was struggling so much. I hadn't yet discovered that I had ADHD.
Looking back now, with a much better understanding of myself, I see that chapter of my life very differently.
With October being ADHD Awareness Month, it feels like the right time to share a little more of my journey.
Not just about closing a salon, but about everything that led to that decision, what happened afterwards and how I eventually found my way back to doing what I love.
I've written about it openly on my blog.
