It is my 2 year anniversary of going out on my own and opening my own practice!!
I stood in front of my fireplace in 2023 one month after my mom died donning my freshly embroidered white coat with my name on it and a table full of food to welcome all my friends, family, and future patients into my home and as their new chiropractor 🤗
I waited for hours. Two friends and one cousin came. You may or may not see the deep sadness in my eyes. It was there. My heart was broken from losing my mom and this just felt like another failure added to the growing list. I was already defeated before I started. My amazing husband said some long forgotten encouraging words and took this picture of me, the first day of me in practice.
There have been a lot more downs than up over these two years. I started out timid and doubting myself as a business owner, an adjuster, a mother, and a wife. I let negativity and depression take over my mind. The majority of these past two years were spent with me taking 4 hour "naps" a day, barely holding it together. I had just enough strength to get my kids to school and back home. No energy for networking, marketing, cooking, cleaning, and many times showering. 2023 and 2024 were the absolute lowest in my life. I had lost all joy.
But God.
My eyes were slowly opened to see that there was in fact a problem and I was no longer myself. This season is about reconnecting with God. I don't want to return to the person I was. I have learned more about myself and continue to explore myself. I am evolving into the person I want to become. A better wife, a better mother, a top-notch adjuster (which I'm not that far from if I can say 😜), and better at running a business.
God placed me to care for women of color during pregnancy and our infants. To be a place of comfort and support in a world that continuously discards us. Tonight I sit in front of my fireplace quietly emerging from my cocoon. Using what I have been through to shift my way through to one day emerge victorious.
I have updated my hours to spend more time with my family and myself. Head over to the website to check them out.
Also peep that growth! 6 years loc'd this month too🥰
