1 year + 8 days

I knew it was getting close. But I missed the anniversary. I launched Lajoie Society on May 7th 2019. So, it’ll be a 1 year + 8 days celebration 🍾 🎉 🎊 💃🏼! YAY ME, I DID IT! AND CONTINUE TO DO IT!

Over the last year, I’ve written many blog posts and realized I have a natural writing ability. I launched a podcast. I made connections to followers. I made a bad ass logo. I launched a companion podcast, Prickly & Blooming. I met amazing guests of P&B, that have turned into friends. I learned so many new skills, like podcasting & audiograms. I created Merch. My writing was featured on Scary Mommy.

It’s been a year full of firsts for me. I’ve pushed myself. I’ve been nervous, anxious, and overwhelmed with gratitude. I’ve felt connected and isolated (solo projects can do that). I’ve been vulnerable like never before. I’ve felt like I’m stepping into a calling. I’ve felt imposter syndrome. I had haters in the comments!

We’ve all heard buzzworthy term, “what’s your why”. My why for the Lajoie Project is to reach other mamas who are struggling with motherhood and encourage them to put themselves back on their priority list. I want to normalize therapy. I want to inspire morning rituals. I hope to create community. Shortest version of my why: create connection. I look forward to the next year of this project!

Thank you all who have been a part of this; by reading my musings, listening to my podcast, buying merch, reviewing the podcast, commenting, engaging, supporting. My thorny sisters, you mean the world to me!

✌🏼♥️🌵🌺
