Torn between sharing a TMI, slightly cringey emotional post… or just keeping it simple and to the point. So… I’m doing both.
The short version:
I’m stepping away from clinical practice as a naturopath.
This means I won’t be taking on clients anymore.
The longer, messier version:
For a while now, I’ve felt torn. I kept pushing through, telling myself all the things we tell ourselves when something doesn’t feel quite right:
It’s just imposter syndrome. It’s just hard work. I just need to manage my time better. This is what it’s like when you start your own business.
Every excuse to justify staying the course, even when deep down, I knew it wasn’t working.
The truth? I wasn’t doing it for me anymore.
I was doing it because I felt I should. Because after five years of study and a whole lot of money, society says this is what you do now. You stick with it. Anything else feels like failure.
But it was draining me.
Trying to work full time, be a present mum, and build not one but two businesses? That’s not sustainable. Not for me.
And it’s okay to say that out loud.
Yes—naturopathy is still my passion.
I believe in it with my whole heart. I believe the world would be a better, healthier place if naturopathy was our first stop instead of the last resort. It has changed my life, and I will raise my family with its principles at the core. One day, I’ll return to it in some way. But not right now.
Right now, I’m choosing me.
My health. My mental health. My family. My time.
I’ll still pop on here to share the occasional cool thing I’ve learned, and I’m always up for a good chat. But for now, I’m stepping back.
See ya when I’m lookin’ at ya ✌️
