Hi PMP fam ♡
A reintroduction to all my new family members of PMP and a refresher for the existing ones.
I'm Angela and I'm the creative behind Pop My Petal.
I've been running this baby for approx 3 years on and off and only on weekends.
I work full-time at a bank and have been doing so for almost 7 years hence not being able to create magic on weekdays.
For anyone who knows me, all I've known in life, is to work (sadly). From the age of 17, I have been working full-time. This was throughout my studies at Tafe & Uni too. I've worked in different areas and can proudly say I have alot of experience in a large amount of areas.
What I slowly learnt was that, working tirelessly for someone else sometimes doesn't get you anywhere.
In my current workplace, I had the knowledge to run a branch and lead a team but unfortunately in due time, this s**t messes with you mentally and sadly isn't enough.
I'm tired and I'm drained. Exhausted of this politic filled corporate world.
In the last 2 years alone (this is where it gets deep lol), I've gained 12 kilos, hated my job, didn't take care of my well being and all in all, burnt myself out.
I balanced working 7 days a week at the bank and in PMP but failed miserably on myself.
I've had countless amounts of chats with my boyfriend, family and friends and have been getting told, if something isn't bringing you happiness, leave. And while it never really resonated with me, I finally woke up last week and realised, what the f**k am i doing.
It's taken me just over a year to come to this decision, but I will officially be taking 3 months off from my FT job.
So this means,
PMP will be trading over weekdays now too!
It's been a massive decision & to be honest I still don't know if this is the right one, but I just know that right now, it feels right.
I'm terrified to see where the eff life will take me as I ain't no risk taker but damn I'm excited and I know that s**t will work itself out.
For now, I plan to grow my baby, freelance with other amazing creative
