Finding Balance: Navigating Dual Businesses and Embracing a Healthy Lifestyle


As we bid farewell to another transformative year, I am compelled to share the multifaceted journey that has defined the past twelve months. Amidst the challenges of running two businesses, the joy of starting a jewelry venture, and the warmth of connecting with my incredible customers, there's another facet of my life that has undergone a significant transformation – my newfound commitment to a healthier lifestyle.

Embracing Fitness

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, I found solace in dedicating time to my well-being. This past year marked a pivotal moment as I decided to incorporate regular workouts into my routine. The decision to prioritize fitness not only brought physical benefits but also became a sanctuary for my mind amidst the hectic world of entrepreneurship.

Rogue Awakening: My Fitness Oasis

One place played a key role in this fitness journey – Rogue Awakening. This fitness haven became my refuge, offering a blend of yoga and sculpt (bootcamp) classes that invigorated both my body and soul. It's the one hour a day where I am genuinely not preoccupied with business matters – a time to focus solely on nurturing my physical and mental health.

Unexpected Love for Yoga

Prior to this journey, I never considered myself a "yoga person." However, Rogue Awakening changed my perspective completely. What began as an exploration of fitness evolved into a genuine love for yoga. The serene atmosphere, expert guidance, and the sense of community fostered at Rogue Awakening transformed my perception, making me eagerly anticipate each workout session.

One Hour of Mindful Escape

In the midst of managing two businesses, Rogue Awakening offers me a precious one-hour escape where I can immerse myself in the present moment. The sculpt classes push my physical limits, while the yoga sessions provide a tranquil space for reflection and rejuvenation. It's a daily ritual that has become essential to my overall well-being.

The Surprising Joy of Workout Classes

I must admit – I never expected to look forward to workout classes. Yet, the camaraderie, the challenge, and the sense of accomplishment that comes with each session have turned me into someone who eagerly anticipates her next yoga or sculpt class. It's a delightful surprise that has added a new dimension to my life.

As I reflect on the challenges and triumphs of the past year, the addition of a healthier lifestyle through fitness has been a significant and rewarding aspect. Balancing dual businesses is demanding, but carving out time for self-care has proven invaluable. To my beloved customers and the entire community, thank you for your unwavering support. As we step into a new year, I look forward to continuing this journey of growth, creativity, and well-being. Here's to another year of balance and embracing the unexpected joys life has to offer. Cheers!
