The Matrie

“As someone who lives with anxiety and fibromyalgia, I have to build in rest to my life and my schedule or my body will physically let me know that it’s had enough and start giving out on me. I’m learning that I’m really good as ‘fake resting’, you know just one more email, one more design tweak, that can easily get my brain fired back up into full blown productivity mode. Today with the encouragement of my doctor, I made a brave and hard choice, to push pause on The Matrie in order to protect and prioritize my health. I want to encourage you that if you’re in a position to make a brave choice, even if it might not make the most logical business sense, but it might be the right one for your kids, your family or for your health, I’m standing with you in solidarity sister.”- Ashley McClanahan, Founder
