Coming out of the pandemic
I was in a promo spot today for the MOB Nation (A Mom Owned Business group) with my kids for our business @tattoo34pdx
It was the first time in months I had put on any kind of make up and definitely the first time in over a year I wore a shoe with a heel. I remembered how it felt, who I used to be, before.
It was really fun to be a part of this promo and one of the things since covid hit that my first reaction was to decline.
I have always been shy, like really shy. As a kid it was painful. I am less shy now and/or I pretend way better, so I can show up and my kids can see a confident me (even if it’s a, fake it till you make it, type of thing).
The pandemic allowed me to retreat though, into myself, my family and my home…. Not a bad thing, I’ve learned and grown a lot! Toby @tobylinwood and I have changed our lives for the better. Our children are awesome human beings that are easy to be around (mostly) ☺️ but sometimes I feel like I no longer know how to exist in the bigger world and be seen.
Thank you to The MOB Nation and founder @arialeighty for continuing to push me to show up authentically.
This was good to remember me, out there. Who I am, what I’ve done, what I have been through to be here, and how I want to represent that for myself and my family. Plus, my hair was 🔥 that day, so that helped 😆- Nisha
