Rooted Wednesdays Vol. 17 Is this actually going anywhere?

Whats On My Hair

my wash day is officially a couple days late lol.

life has been loud lately, and I realized I didn’t want to rush through caring for my hair just to check it off a list. when I do my hair, I want to be present with it. I want to slow down enough to actually pay attention.

so instead of forcing the “perfect” wash day moment, I’ve just been trying to care for it gently in the meantime.

and honestly, I think that’s where I’m at in life right now too.

Whats On My Heart

if I’m being real, I’ve felt pretty overwhelmed lately.

trying to build YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, the brand, the products, the newsletter… sometimes it feels like every platform wants a different version of me. one platform wants speed, another wants consistency, another wants depth, another wants trends.

and somewhere in the middle of all that, I’m trying not to lose the actual person creating.

but I don’t think this feeling only exists for content creators.

I think a lot of us know what it feels like to keep showing up for something the way it’s expected of us while quietly wondering:
“is this actually going anywhere?”

but this week I’ve been reminding myself that not every slow season is failure.

sometimes growth looks less like instant results and more like learning how to stay present long enough to let something develop.

so for now, I’m trying not to rush my hair.
not to rush my life.
and not to panic every time growth looks quieter than I hoped.

from my wash day to yours 🫶🏾
