428. Making self care a priority

In this episode I am joined by Shelby who is the owner of Sunny Day Party Art and we are talking about self care and mental health. This was a great interview - a lot of relatable conversation, but also with helpful tips and practical strategies that Shelby is sharing… not as a therapist, but as a fellow balloon decorator, to deal with the stress that comes with this job.

We talk about parenthood, asking for help, the pressure we all face and much more. It was a vulnerable conversation that I know so many will relate to.

Owner

Hey there! My name is Shelby and I own Sunny Day Event Co! I am based in Lawrence, Kansas (go Jayhawks!!) and have been in business for 3 years!

I started balloons how everyone does, did it for fun for a friend and it looked terrible. So I was determined to figure out how people made balloons look fabulous!! I took a few online classes, quit my 9-5 job on a Tuesday morning, and Sunny Day was born!!

I love celebrations, and I couldn't be happier with this balloon business!!
