Life Update And What That Means For My Newsletters

I got a new job. Yey me.

Hello, I’m a little bit giddy writing this, but before I tell you about my new job, let me give you a bit of background for those of you who are new subscribers and this might even be something you don’t know about me even if you’ve been following me for a long time.

I always wanted to be a stay-at-home mum even if that meant sacrifices in other areas, such as not having huge amounts of money.

When my son was 9, I kind of became a single mum. I mean, I was a single mum and my son’s dad lived in a different country but he was still a part of my son’s life.

I found myself totally responsible for myself and my son. I arrived in the UK with my son, a couple of suitcases and not much else.

This being a stay-at-home mum thing was not looking promising.

I took little part-time jobs here and there and topped up my income from my business by cleaning for a few people, but for the most part throughout the time my son lived at home - until he left home to go to uni, I was a stay-at-home mum.

I ran my own business and topped up with part-time work here and there when I needed to. I only worked out of the home when my son was in school. This was my biggest goal throughout my son’s childhood even when he really didn’t need me that much other than being a great mum taxi.

Then he upped and left for University and boy did that hit me hard.

I really wanted him to go and felt so proud of him but I didn’t know who I was without him.

I was running a positive mindset blog and I really didn’t feel very positive. It was also the tail end of the pandemic which, let’s face it was weird and disruptive to our mindset and emotions.

I had a particularly bad day not long after he went to Uni. My income had dropped drastically (mostly because I wasn’t in the right mindset) and I felt incredibly isolated even though I had an amazing family and friends.

I needed to get out in the world. So I did, I went and got a job at the butchers in my village. I admit now that this was an odd decision based on the fact that I really don’t like meat that much. Anyway, that’s a different story.

I worked there for almost 2 years and for the most part really enjoyed it. I loved the interaction with customers and the people I worked with.

6 months ago I left to become a Nanny. This is something I’d done when I was much younger and I am someone who’s always drawn to having people to look after. My son says it’s a part of who I am. I’m happy when I have people to look after.

Sadly, due to some changes that job came to an end recently but I am so happy to have been able to play a part in two wonderful children’s lives for that short time.

So, now a new journey is beginning and this time I have chosen to return to care in the home of adults. This could be anyone needing help to be able to live in their own homes and be as independent as possible.

I got the job and I’ve now completed all of my training days. Now, I’m about to start shadowing as the final part of my training and I’m really looking forward to it.

So, what does that mean for my business and this newsletter?

Nothing will change with the newsletters. They’ll still be coming out to you every Tuesday and Sunday. Sunday is the paid newsletter. Please go with the flow if I happen to hit publish on the wrong day. It happens from time to time.

The newsletters are my top priority in my business moving forward. Even if nothing else gets done, the newsletters will go out.

***

When I can, my next priority is recording my weekly EFT AND HIGH-VIBES VIDEO. I’m not putting pressure on myself to do this every week, but when I can I will. I may end up trying to time them so that I can add them to my Tuesday newsletters.

I had said that I wanted to add a blog post to the blog every Thursday. I’m letting that one go and focusing on making sure that the content that’s already on the blog gets seen. Visit the blog at www.lifeandbusinesswithwendy.com (Coach Wendy Blog)

I’ll keep writing on Medium as much as I can, mostly because I love it. Read my stories as they’re called in Medium World (they’re articles) HERE

My ETSY SHOP. Over the coming days, I’ll be reviewing all the listings, some will be removed but this will remain a key focus of my business.

Coaching - For the time being I will not be offering any coaching sessions, I want to give myself time to get settled into the job and work out my working hours and I want to bring more balance to my life so that I have more free time.

So, there we go, that’s my life update. Oh, and my son’s about to return home from uni in the next couple of months so another big change.

What about you? How are you doing? Are any life updates happening in your world?

Bye for now, Please help me out by sharing my newsletter with friends and family.
