✨PSA✨ I know it’s disappointing that my content has gone from interviewing female presidents to Lifestyle content, and while I know I shouldn’t be, sometimes I feel disappointed in myself. I’m not looking for any sympathy or compliments, just want to share my truth about how I sometimes feel. But another truth is, I’m exhausted. I’ve reached the end of what I can do. And right now the options are NO content or more simple lifestyle content. That’s all I can manage. I am learning how to rest, how to be ok with doing less, and it’s is truly a fight. Its not natural for me anymore. Being constantly online and staring at screens exacerbates it. I miss the way I used to travel, I didn’t have a phone or laptop or Internet, just a guidebook and printed Mapquest directions. I’m hosting a retreat in Scotland this June which is a digital detox and really looking forward to being off-line in a way that can feel nourishing instead of stressful. But until then, until I get a true week in remote nature to reset, the two people inside of me push and pull. The earthy girl who wants to order pink salt candles vs the worldly girl who wants to make a big impact. For at least a year I’ve been running on fumes. Dear Alyne is just me and an assistant. Some people imagine a whole big team, but it’s not. Y’all, I studied ancient history, everything I’m learning about content and business is as I go 😁 So I will try to extend compassion to myself at this time, which could be a year, or a few years, of relearning how to just be. To not beat myself up because I can’t be everything and do everything. Thanks for being here with me.
