Let’s Talk about Wellness…

Some of you may have noticed that Mrs. Knits has been away from the shop this season. After a traumatic neurosurgery I needed a medical leave to heal physically. But mentally that was another story.

It’s really hard as a Gen X’er to talk frankly about mental health without stigma. As an Entrepreneur especially I paid a price for pretending to be ok when I was not. Maintaining a public facade was too exhausting and I hit the wall trying to do so.

This summer I slowed down and cut back both business and professional obligations to be able to rest and heal physically and mentally. I took a leave of absence for the summer.
