Burning down the old to make way for the new

I’ve been trying to be perfect all my life. The perfect daughter, the perfect teacher, the perfect girlfriend, the perfect entrepreneur, the perfect mother, even the perfect breather! But I’ve been failing at all of it because I’m just me – an ordinary person. And no matter how hard I try I’m not perfect.

Everything I’ve ever created has been made because I have needed it in my life and that includes StretchBodyMind. I created it because I felt woefully underprepared by my Pilates and Yoga Teacher Training to actually run a successful wellness business and I never wanted anyone to feel like I had.

A lot of events this year helped me realise that, after 10 years (I launched it in 2013 with my first Yoga Teacher Training), I’ve gone as far as I can with StretchBodyMind. I need something different in 2024 and beyond. Something that takes the pressure off. I’m ready to stop stretching and to finally embrace a new role.

I’ve also realised that I’m not the only person who is burned out and broken down by trying to be perfect. I know that you are trying your best but still feel like you’re half-assing everything. I know that you want to balance your life better or even build a new (healthier) career but can’t do it on your own.

I think I have the answer…
