Hey Everyone,

This isn’t the easiest post to write, but I wanted to be open with you all. After much thought, I’ve decided to take a break from Pepetoe. This small but endearing community means so much to me, and I’m so grateful for the support, love, and conversations we’ve shared recently, particularly around Eating Disorder Awareness. But right now, I need to step back, take a breath, and focus on myself for a little while.

The past few months have been really tough. Life has thrown a lot at me – things I didn’t expect, things I thought I’d moved past, and things that have completely knocked me off balance. Between personal struggles and battling old habits, I’ve been feeling drained, lost, and honestly, not like myself. As much as I love creating content and connecting with this community, I know I can’t pour from an empty cup. I’m learning how to find my footing, and how I can be ok being truly on my own now. I need to step back, process, and focus on getting back to a place where I feel okay again, and I’m not sure how long that will take.

I hope you too continue (or start) to prioritise your own wellbeing. If there’s one thing I want you to take away from this, it’s that rest is just as important as the hustle 💫

I’m not sure exactly when I’ll be back, but until then, take care, and know that I appreciate you all being here.

If you want to stay connected, you can still find me on my Instagram where I’ll post from time to time, as well as my Podcast, where I will try and share a little bit more about what’s going on.

Speak soon,
