May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and I’ve gone back and forth on whether or not to share this, but I think it’s important to be honest.
Over the past year, I’ve been struggling heavily with my mental health while also trying to continue showing up for my business, my clients, and the people around me. Living with bipolar disorder can be incredibly difficult and unpredictable at times, and while that is never an excuse for falling behind or being harder to reach than usual, it is part of the reality I’ve been navigating behind the scenes.
To my clients who have shown me patience, kindness, understanding, and grace during the times I haven’t been operating at 100%, thank you. Truly. Your compassion has meant more to me than I can properly put into words.
As someone who spends so much time capturing love, joy, and some of the most meaningful moments in people’s lives, it can feel really hard to admit when I’m struggling in my own. But I also know how important it is to remind people that mental illness does not make someone lazy, uncaring, or broken. Sometimes people are simply trying their best to survive things you cannot see.
If you’re struggling too, this is your reminder that it’s okay to not be okay. It’s okay to ask for help. It’s okay to slow down. Healing is not linear, and being human does not make you a failure.
I’m continuing to work on myself, prioritize my health, and create better systems moving forward, and I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who has continued to support me and my business through it all. 🤍
I’m also incredibly thankful to continue doing what I love most, capturing your stories, your love, and the moments that matter most to you. I’m looking forward to being a part of so many more beautiful memories and milestones with all of you. 🤍
