Hey Sparkle Squad 💖✨

Can we do a little midweek heart-to-heart?

Because I don't know who needs to hear this today, but I have a feeling its more than one of us:

You are not too much.

Not too loud. Not too excited. Not too emotional. Not too sparkly. Not too colorful. Not too extra.

You're just you.

And the world needs more of that.

The too much lie (and why it sticks)

A lot of us grew up learning to shrink.

To be easy. To be low maintenance. To be chill. To not take up space.

And listenI love a peaceful vibe as much as the next person. But theres a difference between being calm and being small.

Sometimes be less gets disguised as:

·      Don't wear that, its too bright.

·      Don't post that, people will judge.

·      Don't talk about your business so much.

·      Don't be so excited.

But here's the truth:

Your joy is not a problem.

Let your sparkle be loud (what that actually means)

When I say let your sparkle be loud, Im not saying you have to be the loudest person in the room.

Im saying:

·      Wear the thing that makes you feel good

·      Say the kind thing you're thinking

·      Share the photo you love

·      Celebrate your win (even if its small)

·      Stop apologizing for being excited

Its about giving yourself permission.

A quick reminder from a handmade business owner

I make jewelry thats meant to feel like a little yes on your body.

A little reminder that you can:

·      show up

·      be seen

·      be joyful

·      be bold

·      be soft

·      be all the things

Sometimes a bracelet is just a bracelet.

And sometimes its a tiny piece of courage you wear on your wrist.

If you've been dimming yourself try this today

Pick one small way to turn your light up a notch.

Here are a few ideas:

·      Put on the bright lipstick

·      Wear the pink earrings

·      Stack the bracelets

·      Post the photo (even if its not perfect)

·      Compliment a stranger

·      Tell someone youre proud of them

·      Say no without explaining

·      Say yes to something that makes you happy

Small choices add up.

For my fellow business owners (especially the one-person shops)

If you've been holding back from posting because youre worried youre annoyingI want you to hear me clearly:

People cant support what they don't see.

Sharing your work is not bragging. It's inviting.

And the right people? They're grateful you showed up.

Your midweek mantra

Say it with me:

My sparkle is not too much.
My joy is not too loud.
I don't have to shrink to be loved.
I get to be seen.
