I don’t know if you know this, but I essentially have two businesses that I operate on the daily.
​
For years I have just tried to mesh them together in my brain, but ultimately I’ve recently come to the realization that they are actually two businesses, and I need to treat them that way, even though they very much overlap.
​
I have Cairn Yoga & Wellness Studio and I also have the Cultivate Health Harmony Happiness brand that I have slowly been releasing out into the world over the past 4ish years.

​
At the studio, I support individuals in their journey to explore their inner world through mindful movement and breath work. (I also host virtual options)
​
Cultivate Health Harmony and Happiness is where I get to help other naturally caffeinated people create inner peace and maintain confidence that you can trust yourself through life’s stresses while still honoring your your fiery spirit.
​
I work with workplaces, organizations and one on one with individuals to do this. Depending on goals, we do a combination of movement, breath work, meditation, and mindfulness practices for intentional living and emotional healing to reconnect with self and others.

​
​
But my point in sharing this today, Reader, is that when I finished my financial snapshot of the year I was blown away by the support both locally and globally that I have for these businesses. Although the numbers aren’t exactly where I’d like them to be to support our family, they are better than I had thought.
​

​
I’m going to be honest, I’m not in the easiest business as far as things to sell – health, harmony and happiness – they can kind of be thought of as a little abstract… a pipe dream some might say. And there IS that saying “you can’t buy happiness.”

And to those who believe in me and have supported one or both my businesses this past year, I say THANK YOU🙏💚.
​
You are making a difference in more than just your life by choosing a small business to support your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health rather than just trusting a self help book written by someone you’ve never met or learning from a random person on YouTube.

​
​
Trust me, it can get discouraging.
​
There are many times I question whether or not I should even be running these businesses and whether I should just find another job that can actually contribute to my family’s financial well-being.
​
But after 10 years I still choose this.

​
​
Because I know that the right people find me when they’re ready and can be transformed by the work I do.
​
And sometimes it takes those big sell-out books written by well-known names (ahem, Mel Robbins) to encourage you to seek out someone on a personal level. Someone who’s relatable and who, herself, has those dreams of writing her own bestseller someday.

​
​
And so it is.
​
Thank you for supporting my businesses in 2024 and I’m excited for expansion and growth in 2025🎉.
​
Cheers,
Cathy
