How did children affect your career?
Hi ladies. I just wanted to getting hour opinions, and hopefully some advice around the topic of having kids. I'm so torn about it. Me and my partner aren't getting any younger and we're talking about it a lot more these days. I'm just worried about so many things 😪. Is this the right world to bring kids into, is this going to impact my career so much that I won't be able to recover from it? I know lots of people have kids and come back, but you never really know the full story from what's shown on social media. So I guess I'm asking for some insight into the full story. Did your clients understand? Did they come back? Was it hard to build it back up to where it was? Sorry for the ramble 🤧

So I've been doing nails for a few years now and finally got a a flow with nail clients and went to just doing nails last Jan. Such a huge step in forwarding my career. Then got pregnant. I was terrified of loosing clients, wondering if I could still take clients,will I want to come back. All these questions couldn't be answered til after I had the baby. I took a few months then slowly reached out to some of my regulars and some came back and some didnt. That part bummed me out but idk if I could take everyone back on. I've decided to take 2 clients on Saturdaysl I definitely miss making heaps of money but its been great slowly comming back and being creative. Everyone has been super understanding of me exclusively breastfeeding and having to take breaks if I have to feed my baby. Its all alot but I'm greatful at the people who have came back or at least reached out after. I'll those girls knew I was terrified that they wouldn't come back but its all good. Im in this new era of my life and absolutely loving it. Hopefully that covers most things. Im happy to have a chat or answer any more quiestions.

Dammit, I know I said the next one would be posted on the 5th, but I just enjoy seeing your creations so much that I thought I'd give you something to get the creative juices flowing again 😂 Again, no rules - just fun. You can do a single nail, a full set, press-ons, a live client, swatches - whatever floats your boat 🚤

August Leaderboard Winner
We have our winner for the August leaderboard! 🥳 It was a freaking close one this month, and I loved seeing the interaction there near the end 😂 If you’re new here, we run a fun “competition” to see who is the most active member in the community for each month. We like to thank whoever is in the number one spot for making the community fun and engaging. We do this by adding their personal invite link to our social media bios so they can directly benefit from any new members who join from our external marketing and promos. This month, in 1st place was: @Chloe Payne 🥳. Chloe, thank you so much for everything you contribute to the community 🥹🤗✨ you’re so appreciated 🫶 In a very, very, very close 2nd place: @Kate Brown 🥳. Kate you got so close, and you actually interacted more than Chloe this week, but overall for the month - it was just the teeniest bit short 😭 I believe in you though. You’ve got it this month 🙏🙏 And the 3rd most active member was @Cat Tortorice 🎉🎉. It really is a pleasure having you here Cat, and I’m loving watching you and your style develop along the way 🥹 - you’re going to get so good at this! If you want to play along, even just for fun! Please do 😁 the more you engage with the community and the other nail techs in it, the further up the leaderboard you’ll climb. However, the leaderboard isn’t the point. It’s the relationships building and lessons being learned that make it all worth it 🤗
