One of the greatest joys of running my own business has always been the freedom to choose when I work, whether it is 5 a.m. or on a Sunday. In line with that freedom and the INSANELY long day I had yesterday, today is a day of rest for me. A few daily things will get done. Any priority that arises will be addressed but for the most part, this is my day. Time to recharge and refuel. Taking over the world will wait for another day. lol Love ya all! Enjoy your day! Sandi

Today is World Mental Health Day — though let’s be honest, for anyone running a business, every day tests your mental game. The last 18 months have had their fair share of blue 🩵 days for me. When you are the one leading, creating, and keeping things moving, there is this unspoken pressure to stay positive — to be “fine.” Clients, teams, and communities look to you for stability, even when you are the one running on empty. We do not talk about that part enough. There are days when you show up out of pure grit. Days when you question if it is all worth it.And days when a simple walk, a chat, or a quiet cup of tea brings you back to centre. What I have learned is this — asking “What do you need?” is far more powerful than “How can I help?”It gives permission to name what is really going on instead of patching over it. Resilience is not about having it all figured out. It is about knowing when to pause, reset, and reach out. For me, early morning walks have become that reset — time to think, breathe, and remember why I started. So, to my fellow founders and business owners — how do you handle your blue 🩵 days? What helps you stay grounded when everything depends on you showing up?
