You know a trend I just could not get behind?

High-waisted jeans.

Come for me IF YOU MUST!!

But as a petite lil person at a whoppin’ 4’11” – a LOT of the high-waisted jeans make their way up to my rib-cage and bra.

And it is quite the OPPOSITE of comfy.

Which has truly made finding the right pair of jeans ~oh-so-difficult~ these last few years while high-waisted, medium-rise, and ultra-high-rise jeans have been on the rise.

But you can bet my bottom dollar (is that a phrase? is it a Country phrase? I swear I’m not country at all idk where I get these from sometimes 😅)

That IF I come across a pair of SEXY-low-rise jeggings -I hit “Add to Cart” faster than Amazon Prime Delivery these days.

sO w H a T – if I’m not trendy.

I’d rather be classic AND comfortable in what I’m wearing every day.

So friend, what are you currently doing in business because you THINK you SHOULD be doing it – bc it’s the current digital landscape trend?

Is it actually serving you and your business?

Is it sustainable for you and your business over the long run?

If not, find yourself a comfier pair of jeans – or rather, a strategy that you actually ENJOY because your energy put into that strategy is going to yield WAY bigger results than trying to force something you don’t actually love doing.

So friend – what are you leaving behind?
