Hey Networkers,
After talking with a good friend, I left the conversation feeling discouraged.
They confirmed something I had already been wrestling with — maybe this dream of building an online business just isn’t what I’m supposed to be doing anymore. Maybe my grandma was right. Maybe I should just focus on the kids, the house, the stability.
That thought hurt.
I’ve worked hard for six years. Pivoted more times than I can count — from product-based to service-based, from social media management to marketing education. I’ve served entrepreneur moms, anime and gaming creators, and everyone in between. I’ve networked, coached, launched, taught, and rebuilt. So to even entertain the idea that all that effort might have been for nothing? It almost brought me to tears.
I felt that tightening in my chest, that panic. So I took it to X. I asked, “When and how do you accept that something just isn’t for you anymore?”
The responses were kind. Encouraging. They reminded me of something I used to say to everyone else:
Create without the expectation to receive.
And suddenly, it clicked.
I don’t have to give up my business or the Femway Network. But I do need to return to why I started. Not for money, likes, recognition, or praise — but to share. To teach. To pour into others what I’ve learned the hard way. To support my fellow Networkers.
That’s why I built this community. Not to be a gatekeeper, but to be a guide.
I know what it’s like to start from scratch. To wonder if you’re even cut out for this. That’s why Femway exists — so you don’t have to figure it all out alone.
So here I am. Again. Showing up. Even after breaks and burnout and disappearing for a while.
This time, I’m doing it for free.
For the love. For the network. For the next woman who just needs one more reason to keep going.
Much love and many blessings,
Marceline
