038 • Storytime: She Said I Sold Out My Art, I Say I Honored My Goals

One of the hardest and most hurtful, honestly, lessons that I've learned in my henna journey is – sometimes you can't take people with you. There are going to be times when you will outgrow people and places and spaces.  And in today's episode, I'm sharing a story about how that showed up for me as I made the transition into a full-time artist with henna boutique, and interestingly enough, this had nothing to do with the boutique at all. It actually came up in a festival setting of all places, but it was one of the moments that really defined for me that if I was going to grow, I had to be willing to do so, even if I didn't receive the support and validation of people who I thought would be in my corner.  If this resonates with you at all, you're really going to enjoy this episode.  [00:00] Intro [01:49] Getting Vulnerable About an Experience that Shook Me [03:07] Setting the Scene: Where and Why I Began My Festival Henna Journey [07:38] My First Festival Experience [13:40] Improving The Experience I Offered at Festivals [18:21] What She Saw Was Completely Different Than What I Saw [25:13] My Takeaways From That Experience [32:59] Let's Chat: Join me in the Hennapreneur Community!
