Sorry… I’m Busy
2026 started with a bang, things accelerated for me and HK-VA, and I’ve been trying to catch up ever since…
I am so passionate and in love with what I do that I am constantly thinking of new ideas and projects that I want to execute and get involved in. I am so grateful to have something that I love so much and to see it grow and expand every day.
This year, I have been focusing on attending workshops and training events via providers like DigitalBoost.org.uk and Business.gov.uk. I actually recently went to an amazing networking event hosted by Digital Boost at the NatWest Bishopsgate Conference Centre.
I met so many lovely, welcoming and passionate women who shared what they do or are hoping to get off the ground within the next year. I left Digital Boost’s Female Founder Connect event feeling so inspired by all the female founders I had the opportunity to connect with and learn from.
Nevertheless, after the event, I was reflecting on how tiring it can be when things pick up for me socially and when I am “booked and busy”. It feels like I spend a lot of energy, and I can sometimes feel drained or overstimulated. In return, however, I gain inspiration, motivation and value-aligned connections.
That, to me, feels like a good return on my social energy spent. The more I attend these events and put myself out there, the more I learn and grow as a person and businesswoman.
Building valuable connections and enjoying life’s moments is important to me, so that's what I choose to remind myself of. I love what I do, and sometimes it will involve me being a bit uncomfortable, but the outcome is going to be so worth it!
I must stress that I love connecting with others, even though I am an introvert and can be slow to warm up (please say hi if I’m ever looking quiet and reserved 🥹). I also love my personal community of close friends and family, and I enjoy spending quality time with them when possible.
Alongside all of that, I love wellness, staying active, and I also love having quiet time to ground myself in my relationship with God. And sometimes I love to just laze about and do nothing but scroll and watch Netflix.
Some things have definitely slipped a bit whilst I’ve been prioritising my frontline services. Things like being consistent on Instagram, posting content on LinkedIn – things to keep me “relevant” and help me stay engaged with the community I’m trying to create. One thing I thankfully haven’t dropped the ball on is posting From Hanna’s Desk. Though I must admit that for the past few months, I have got to the end of the month before suddenly remembering that I have a post to make! 🫣
I am so passionate and dedicated to this thing that I am building here. So I say all of this to say – sorry I’m busy, finding my footing and trying to balance it all, and I will get back to you soon ;)
