#76 The good, the bad & the magical: celebrating five years in business + my biggest lesson

I am celebrating five years in business today!
⁠
“I trust myself to make this work” is still my favorite business affirmation and I am excited for the next five years. ⁠
⁠
Working for myself has given me a lot of freedom, room for creativity, community, rest, inspiration and joy. Obviously it’s also given me a lot of headaches and challenges, but at the end of the day I have never regretted it. ⁠
⁠
I’ve recorded an episode sharing my biggest lessons – ⁠I talked about unlearning competition, having good boundaries, rethinking success, making time to work ON your business and listening to your body as a wise mentor. Enjoy! ⁠
⁠
Thanks for supporting my work, being here, listening and sharing and for making all this possible. ⁠
⁠
Love you,⁠
⁠

Hi, I’m Yarrow and this is my local river.

I’m a maker, grief companion and tarot reader living on the East coast of Scotland.

I facilitate creative projects and gentle rituals for seasons of loss, make handmade textile magic and host the Grief Glimmers podcast. My wish is to change the culture around grief and death so that we can explore these experiences as gateways into a softer, more embodied life.
