My baby turned 6 months this week 💞
I’m not a mother, and I know running a business is no comparison to raising a child but I can’t help recalling motherhood stories when I look back at the last 12 months.
Last October, I found the property that would become . Like in early pregnancy, I kept the news to myself for the first three months as it felt too fragile to share before it rooted.
Five months in, I was hopping between Ireland, Brazil, Morocco, and Spain following my “nomadic” rhythm of that time of year (all trips booked before I knew I was starting a business!!) while juggling paperwork, loans, and logistics. I remember realising I’d never be that carefree backpacker again. Major responsibility. Get your s**t together. Still a backpacker, just… not a carefree one 😂
Seven months in, my body wasn’t my own anymore. I worked 17-hour days to birth this thing into life, with my partner and friends. Forget sleep, forget socialising, there was something serious growing that needed all my attention.
Nine months in, the doors opened. Bills, invoices, people walking in. Through the ups and downs, floating in a sea of new hormones, a high that kept me going no matter what.
Twelve months. How the f**k did I get here?! A freaking miracle. Time flies. I left my baby in the hands of our team for the first time… and I didn’t die 😅
Now leaving for a few months, it will continue to grow. I see now it’s never been about me, it’s always been about it. The creation, the creature. It needs care, direction, but it isn’t mine. It has its own purpose.
Yesterday I found my first white hair and laughed at the sign of maturing taking space in my body.
Thank you to everyone who’s supported my work. From big city studios to rural community centres… until I finally found .
I live an extremely privileged life that wasn’t always like this, and I never, ever take it for granted.
I truly hope is an asset to our community ❤️
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT ❤️
