It's been a hell of a journey Fabienne. God, it's refreshing to read about someone who's making moves and is handling the rollercoaster that it comes with. I think sometimes we either romanticize how perfect things will be, or maybe how smooth. We seem to forget that we're human. And so often that paralyzes us. I'm stoked to see you're making it, and living forward.
Thanks so much, Zackary. I really appreciate your feedback since you mention a key aspect that keeps me going even if things are super busy and messy: These are the moments that no one shares about since it is simply not a priority to write it down while there are so many other things to do, feel, troubleshoot. I cannot always share all the things I would love to, but I am glad that I keep trying 😃.
I'm so glad to read you managed to settle into your break and enjoy the vacation 😊 and grateful that you are sharing with us this very important insight you found in the process.
It's true we can't force anything, and sometimes we just need to let things unfold. It is hard but the other way around eventually turns out even harder!
Thank you so much, Milena! I wanted to share something from our vacation and hoped that this little insight might make for an interesting read for others. So I am glad it did the very thing for you 😍
And yes, usually, the other way around and fighting for what you can't control is most likely the road of hardship and frustration.
I commented this on the wrong post last time so, oops. Anyways:
This was maybe my favorite by you so far, Fabienne. You've been authentic and raw before, but I feel like you've tapped into a deeper level of that in your writing. So glad you had a that vacation to decompress after all the craziness you've had to deal with for the past months!
Awesome that you had that time with your dad. Your description of having a panic attack and how he comforted you was really sweet. I am rooting for you and your future Arhaus adventures :)
Thank you so much, Nur, this means a lot to me since I also felt that something about this post feels a bit different, but I could not grasp it. Not in a positive or negative way, but just - different!
I'm curious what you will think about my next one!
And to make sure, I realise that the description of my emotional moment might be interpreted as a panic attack. Just to not offend or downplay the experience for readers who might be struggling with panic attacks: It was rather an emotional, vulnerable and lost moment that my dad was able to hold me and make me feel safe and sound again 🥰.
Oh gosh the moving chaos and bureaucracy is an absolute nightmare (we can relate 🙋♀️), staying calm here is definitely next level stoic 😅 hope you’ll settle in well and that the jet lag isn’t too bad. 👋
Oh Girl, sending you all the strength over there, too. Well, I get the confirmation again that going East to West is worse for me. Waking up at 4am not able to go back to sleep 😭

Hahaha, happens to THE BEST 🤪

I’m so glad you’re embracing this very well-deserved break. Thanks for your vulnerability in sharing, as always.
Thanks so much, Allison!

I’m happy that it worked- just sitting with your thoughts and feelings without doing anything.
And I love how you realized that we can’t process something that is evolving. Let’s wait, let it happen, and decide if we want to process it at all.
Lovely pics. And I think Molly misses you too.
Thanks, Shanjitha. I hope that this time will help me do it more often going forward ☺️
Exactly - and maybe, there will be even nothing left to be processed in the first place since I stayed aware and compassionate throughout.
Hahaha, thanks, Sean! Well, sometimes I kind of refer to my mind, my body and me as "us/we" 🤣.
