Once upon a time there was a gal who was burnt out from managing events, managing PR and marketing as an employee.
Along the way since I started my business I’ve been trying to find my feet, my style, my way.
I was flicking back through the brand photos 4 years of them. And it was weird, like I was accidentally judging myself at each different stage. Wondering which version was the “true” Tee.
Then I realised they’re all perfect reflections of each stage.
That first photo, that’s a woman who walked away from a job that burnt her out. She didn’t know what she was doing yet. She just knew she couldn’t keep going the way things were.
The ones after, those are the finding-my-feet years. Trying on different versions of “professional.” Second-guessing myself in half of them if I’m honest.
And the recent ones. That’s someone who knows who she is now. Wife. Mum. Business owner. Still figuring plenty out, but not apologising for any of it anymore.
None of these pics are the same version of me. But they’re little windows to past me, who deserves, if I’m being honest, a gold bloody star for following her dreams.
