Envy Me Aesthetics & Beauty

I wanted to come on here and be completely open with you all, because I know that lately I haven’t been as reliable or consistent as I expect myself to be.

As most of you know, I’ve been going through a lot with my health, and behind the scenes it has had a much bigger impact on my mental health than I’ve probably allowed people to see.

Some of you have had appointments moved, rearranged or cancelled, sometimes more than once, and I am genuinely so sorry. I know how frustrating that must be, especially for those of you who have supported me and my business so loyally.

Today was a bit of a turning point for me.

I’ve recently received a new diagnosis and started new medication today. After feeling quite strange while adjusting to it, I then had my usual weekly therapy session and completely broke down.

It made me realise just how thinly I have been stretching myself.

I say yes when I should say no. I squeeze people in because I hate disappointing anyone. I take on more than I can realistically manage and convince myself I’ll somehow make it work.

And ultimately, that ends with me becoming completely overwhelmed and letting people down anyway.

I’ve been saying for months that I need to put proper structure, boundaries and realistic working hours into my diary, but I haven’t done it. So today, after having to cancel my clients yet again because I simply wasn’t mentally or physically in a position to work, I made the decision that today is the day that changes.

No more overbooking myself.
No more saying yes when I genuinely don’t have the capacity.
No more running myself into the ground trying to keep everybody happy.

I have so many incredible, loyal clients, and I don’t want to keep giving you apologies and excuses. I want to actually make the changes that mean I don’t need to keep apologising.

I haven’t been in a good place for some time, but I absolutely love what I do. I love my business, I love my clients, and I love being able to make women feel good about themselves. I refuse to let what I’ve been going through take another thing away from me.

So I’m using today to properly reset — to put structure into my working week, establish boundaries and create a way of working that is manageable and sustainable.

To everyone who has shown me kindness, patience and understanding through a really difficult period of my life, thank you. 🤍

And to anyone I’ve inconvenienced or let down, I am genuinely sorry.

I can’t change how things have been, but I can change how I move forward.

It gets better from here. I promise. 🤍

Lots of love,
Shelly xx
