Setting Boundaries: Learning to Listen to your Heart. By Carly Wilkinson

Hey all! My name is Carly and I’m the owner of Tate + Boone Co Retail and Wholesale.  I’m a mom of 3 kids!! Ages 5, 3 and 1!

I have been in business for over 9 years and specialize in embroidery! I am a HUGE advocate for mental health! After my 3rd baby - I experienced PPD and PPA. I knew I needed to take a break because I did not want to overwhelm myself and over promise and under deliver. It was the best decision I could have made. This business is a huge passion of mine and my "escape". I knew I needed to get back into it because I have 3 little ones looking up to mama and I wanted to let them know that no matter HOW HARD - YOU CAN DO IT.  

Getting back into the business I knew I needed to set boundaries... I did not want to be on my phone ALL DAY. So I have pockets of time during the day that I check my phone and I absolutely try my hardest not to work on Sundays! My biggest change is I don't check anything in the mornings until I drop the kids off at school. I don't want my attitude to set the tone of their day! 

If I could give you any advice it is to listen to your heart. You are not a failure if you step back and DO NOT compare yourself to other owners!

I am back and ready to help other business owners grow their business! 🖤

Please know if you’re ever going through anything - I’m always here to be a listening ear!
