038 • Storytime: She Said I Sold Out My Art, I Say I Honored My Goals

Hennapreneur

One of the hardest and most hurtful, honestly, lessons that I've learned in my henna journey is – sometimes you can't take people with you. There are going to be times when you will outgrow people and places and spaces.

And in today's episode, I'm sharing a story about how that showed up for me as I made the transition into a full-time artist with henna boutique, and interestingly enough, this had nothing to do with the boutique at all. It actually came up in a festival setting of all places, but it was one of the moments that really defined for me that if I was going to grow, I had to be willing to do so, even if I didn't receive the support and validation of people who I thought would be in my corner.

If this resonates with you at all, you're really going to enjoy this episode.
