So today is a little different. I just wanted to sit down and chat with you because I have an announcement to make. So for weeks now, I have been feeling. Just really, really bad. I caught up one of my friends and just told her, like, I just feel sucky. Those are my exact words. I feel sucky. I feel like I am not showing up as my best. At work. I am a struggling. At home, I'm struggling. Um, with my job in the Navy, I'm struggling. We're real happy mom. I'm just struggling everywhere. Like I just feel like I am just like constantly dragging myself. Um, I haven't been showing up my best in. Pretty much every area of my life, I feel. Like, I've just been doing a very mediocre job. And I don't feel good about it because that's not how I roll. I don't typically. Operate from a mediocre. Type of level. I tend to. Try to give my best whenever I can, wherever I can. And I haven't. And I know that I know for months now, I haven't. And so one of my friends who knows me very well, who I talked to often, she like immediately knew exactly what was going on. And she was like Tony. And I know the reason why you feel like that. I know exactly why. She's like Tony and you are burnt out. And at first, when she sent it, I was like, nah, I'm all right. I ain't burnt out. I just need to go and pray and meditate and fast for a little bit and figure out what's going on with me. And she was like, you can do all that, but I'm telling you. You're burnt out. And it like hit me like a ton of breaks. I was like, she's right. She pretty much like. She read me so well, she pretty much told me, like, you've been dealing with this situation. For months now. You've been struggling for months because this one area is literally dragging you down and sucking the life out of you. So you can't show up. Your best in other areas of your life, because you've earned a literally being like sucked in drag down. By one particular situation in your life. And that's why you feel like that. And she is a hundred percent right. I have been dealing with something for. It really took effect in October, but things had been brewing months before that. So. It's pretty much going on a year. Now that things have just been brewing. And then finally came to a head and October. And. I pretty much gotten to a point where yeah. I'm in this situation that I. I really don't like, and the only way for me to. Show up better? Not only here on real happy mom, but also at home. And I work and went my family. I have to get myself into a better situation. And I'll be honest with you. I've been struggling. With content creation for the podcast. I have been struggling with direction for this podcast. I've been struggling with. What am I going to do next for real happy mom, as a whole. And so I've realized that it's time for me to take a break from your happy mom. Get some things in order and then come back. Really really strong. So I'm telling you all of this. Because one. I want you to know that if you are struggling and you're just feeling. Like you got national and up your best. It's hard for you to. You know, give your best each day. Take a look and see if there's something going on that may be causing you to be in this burnout, state, this like low grade burnout state. It's making you feel like. You can't show up. Well, because that's exactly what's going on with me. It's not like I'm burnt out where I'm like, how was before, where I just felt like I couldn't get out the bed. I was just. In, just so down and I just couldn't do anything, right. And so I need some time. From the podcast to one, get some things in order. Um, typically during the summertime things to slow down anyway. So I was planning on taking a break, but I'm taking a lot sooner. But definitely the month of may and then. Throughout the month of June.
