Girl Talk Tuesday: I’m Not the Best Blogger to Follow

So, I am not a mom or self employed as you are but I do still keep up with the free info and classes from The Society of Business Witchery.

Anyway, like a week ago they were talking about something that made a huge change in their business productivity.

Making a work schedule. I don’t work for myself so I am given structure from the company and haven’t actually had to put this into action; however they were talking about taking the time to give yourself structure when self employed. So you have work hours scheduled and approximate time for certain duties. Their example was customer service time. They went from feeling like they were answering emails all day to giving it like an hour a day. Even doing that they’ve had tons of compliments on quick response time.

Anywho, just thought I would share incase it sounded like something helpful to try.

This is the reason I follow you. You’re relatable. So much so that I feel like you’re my best friend I’ve never met. Thanks for being vulnerable so that girls like me know that it’s ok to not be perfect.
Literally a couple of days ago I was in my robe until 4:30. Normally my brain would start attacking myself but instead I just thought “it’s ok, Angela does this all the time.” Haha!
And girl you can start resolutions anytime! I just came up with mine on Sunday. And you better believe I have already failed. But I’m trying and that’s what matters!

Yes!!! This is exactly who I follow you. I’m trying so hard to not get caught up in the insta story because I want the real story. We all deserve it and we all deserve to give ourselves Grace!!! Blessings and kudos to you!!!!???

I love this! I’m not a perfect mom. And the pressure of thinking I need to be sent me into therapy for anxiety. Thanks for being relatable.

Hell woman you’re the ONLY blogger I follow because you’re REAL. Yes I still think you’ve got the perfect life because I’m not living it – I see a beautiful woman with a gorgeous husband and I see financial security and an adorable little girl with doting parents, but I also listened to your podcasts and read your posts about how life just IS and I love that. You talk about the REAL sex you have, the real medical issues you have, the real issues you may face in your marriage and it is all so genuine. I don’t follow you because of your perfect make up or gorgeous hair (although both of these things are great) – I follow you because I know if we lived 5 minutes apart we’d be friends.

FYI you’re killin’ it.

Honestly I think what you’re experiencing is 100% normal and it hurt my heart the other day on stories to see you judging yourself. You have so much going on in your life. A toddler (!!!), a new house, a business, relationships, etc. Comparison is the thief of joy…don’t let it (or Satan) steal yours. It doesn’t matter if you’re full glam at 6:30 am or 6:30 pm or not glam at all. I’ve been trying to work on removing the comparisons in my brain and simply focus on thankfulness. It’s hard but I’m trying. I’m thankful for this post and for you. You (and Kenny) bring so much joy to me and my little girls. I appreciate your vulnerability far more than your style and glam. Those are fun but YOU and your heart are why I come back.

This is why I love you! Admittedly I catch myself thinking y’all are perfect bc you are talented and beautiful and live a different life than me, but then I remind myself that you are real and share that real ness.
I am a middle school special ed and theatre teacher. I also have 11 year old twin boys with learning difficulties and a 3 year old energetic little boy.
My husband also went into business for himself this year so to say it’s been years of transitions is an understatement.
I don’t really do resolutions, but my proudest accomplishment for January is I started a bible recap plan to read the Bible in a year on Jan 1 and I haven’t missed a day.

Sorry to be long winded. Keep being you and thanks for your authenticity in a world full of artifice (our word of the day in my class) LOL

I love following you because you are REAL. Someone to relate to in this crazy world of life. You are not the typical blogger ? you give such great tutorials, style (most at reasonable $) for the average housewife. Great recipes, great decorating tips and renovations on all sizes of homes I could go on and on you see you cover everything that women love ❤️ Don’t change you are an incredible source to us all!

As stated by others, this is exactly why I joined your community. I’ve long had a love/hate relationship with social media because of all the toxic and idealized content that circulates nowadays. Perfection does not exist in any earthly capacity. It’s unrealistic to think otherwise (and I say this as a longtime sufferer of perfectionism… I have to tell myself this constantly!). We are all different and unique and that’s a beautiful thing. All we can do is our best, and some days our best efforts might not appear as well off as others – and that’s ok. That’s when self care and family/friend/community support comes in handy BIGTIME.

I’m reiterating what you’ve so eloquently stated in your blog post at this point, but I just wanted to express my support and appreciation for your honesty and real talk with us. It’s why I, like so many, find you so relatable as a fellow human, and why the community you’ve created is so positive and fun to be a part of. Thank you! <3

We love you sweet Angela!

You’re an amazing mom to a sweet little girl, yes you will have bad days, and it is ok to show us those bad days. We are your GG’s we love you, because you are this raw, honest, dont hold back kind of person. No one is expecting perfection, if they do, that says more about them then you. You have a schedule will work for you, but you can’t stop Kenny- girl from being a kid. Maybe that will change over time, who knows, certainly not anyone on earth. <3

This is so refreshing! I just started a new job (5 months ago) and have recently fallen prey to unhealthy self talk that essentially added up to me not feeling like I was not measuring up to my peers in the office or peers I know in the field. I felt that any time I was frustrated at work because I needed help, or did not have a clue what I was doing, or even getting feedback, that I was a failure. Even though I am a fresh grad student and only in my mid-twenties. I was not giving myself room to grow and nor was I being fair to myself. Luckily my boss recognized where my head was and has been patient and kind with me all week and has talked with me about my value to her and the company to remedy this negative thinking that is absolutely untrue, while still including lessons for me to grab ahold of and use later when I find myself in similar mindsets in the future. Thank you for calling out what has been on my mind so much this past week.

I love this. I am trying to remind myself of this daily. I envy those that have great hair and the perfect outfit everyday in the drop off line, but then I think that they probably went through the morning chaos like I did. I’m trying not to compare myself this year. It’s so hard nowadays. Thanks for the reminder and I love following you because you share the good, bad and the ugly. So thank you for that. We appreciate it.

You’re my fav, girl.
