Needing to get something off my chestā¦Truth isā¦Iāve been burnt out for months. Not approaching burnout, not experiencing minor adrenal fatigue, not on the cusp of anything⦠fully IN IT. Luckily Iām on my way out, finally.
Been continuing to build a business, and trying to expand fully into a new space⦠while our government lies to us, among other diabolical atrocities that I wonāt get into here. Iām sure (and hope) youāre aware.
Anyways. Trying to continue to expand but feeling like Iām not ready, not allowed, not supported, not connected, not empowered to do any of it. Even though all of that is not true. Been mending old wounds of betrayal & releasing fear that isnāt mine.
I havenāt been responding to emails, inquiries or making deadlines. I cringe when I get asked to show up at networking events, or to donate my time for fundraisers. But no one would ever know because Iāve perfected the ātable side mannerā thing working at every restaurant Iāve ever worked at since I was 16.
Somewhere while I was building this business from the foundation. Of pop ups and farmers markets and events all over the Vail Valley, to a full blown apothecary, I lost myself. And Iām trying to find the new version of me that is ready to bloom.
I had to become the business, āYouāre the Belden Witch!ā Yes, I am. But Iām at my core, Iām Jocelyn.
I havenāt been posting here about the shop or events or any of it, because I feel very dystopian posting about whatās new in store while the world burns and peopleās rights are still being stripped away to say the very least.
Iāve been doing DEEP magic. While holding space for everyone else at the same time. And as a Reflector in Human Design, I honestly donāt even know what deep magic is mine anymore. We are all doing BIG WORK. And I seem to feel every ounce of it, whether itās mine or not.
If you donāt see us on social media, donāt be surprised. Weāre just here trying to be human, trying to hold it all best we can, trying to rest, to live, to love, to grow, to expand, and we donāt feel anything lightly.
Weāre out here. Weāre just not on HERE. Love you all.
