Vulnerable post... But slide 6 might be the best reminder we need sometimes 🫶.
Almost 10 years ago I started a little business from home.
What most people don't know is I was going through one of the hardest seasons of my life.
At the time I was struggling with postpartum depression, and it wasn't something I talked about much. 10 years ago me, probably wouldn't believe I'm sharing this today!
Dapper & Chic gave me something to hold onto, during a time when I really didn't feel like myself. It was a creative outlet, something to look forward to and a sense of purpose outside of being "mom". It didn't magically fix everything, but it became an important part of finding myself again.
One of my fav things that has changed in the past 10 years is that we can and should talk about these things. We can love our babies more than anything and still admit that motherhood can be really, really hard.
So when I say this business has changed my life, I truly mean it. 10 years later I'm still here and comfortable enough to tell a part of my story, I once felt I had to keep to myself 🥹. Thank you for being here!
If you are in this stage of life right now, you are not alone 🤍🤍
