I’ve been reflecting on the theme of resilience for this year’s Small Business Week, and it felt like a timely opportunity to share a little reminder about what resilience means to me.
We often think resilience means pushing through, staying strong and getting back up no matter what.
But I’ve come to see resilience a little differently.
Resilience isn’t about never struggling.
It can look like knowing when to pause.
Asking for support.
Adapting when things don’t go to plan.
Setting boundaries before you reach burnout.
Giving yourself permission to have a hard day.
And finding your way back to yourself when life feels overwhelming.
Especially in the world of work and small business, there can be so much pressure to keep going, keep achieving and keep showing up.
But sometimes, resilience is knowing that you don’t have to push through everything.
Sometimes resilience is simply saying:
“This is hard. And I’m going to take care of myself through it.”
That is resilience too.
I hope this is a gentle reminder for anyone who may have been hard on themselves lately, particularly during a relentlessly busy and demanding time in our lives.
You’re not alone. You don’t have to carry it all. 🫶
And if you’re needing a little support or simply someone to talk things through with, my DMs are always open. ✨🫶
