Tales of a Mermaid: Where Have You Been?

Hey beauties & beauxs’,

So…where has the mermaid been?

Life carried me through a series of unexpected tides—some calm, many stormy, all transformative. Over the past few years, I’ve navigated waves of grief, moments of stillness, seasons of loss, and the kind of change that quietly reshapes you from the inside out. Entering my 30s felt less like a gentle drift and more like a whirlwind—one that asked me to pause, reflect, and rediscover who I am, what I desire, and how I want to move through this world.

There were moments when the water felt too deep—when I questioned my strength, my direction, and even the future of Belle Swimwear. Thoughts of letting it all go crossed my mind, which, if you know me, is something I hadn’t felt since the early days of building this brand. But what is meant for you has a way of finding you again, like the tide returning to shore. Purpose doesn’t disappear—it waits, it whispers, it calls you back.

So I gave myself time. Time to rest. Time to feel. Time to heal. Time to sit beneath the surface and listen to my own voice again.

And now, I’ve resurfaced.

Not only am I continuing with Belle Swimwear, but I’m also decided to bring back Tales of a Mermaid—a space where I can share, reflect, and connect more deeply with you all again. Because the truth is, life will sometimes pull you under. It will take your breath, test your strength, and leave you searching for air.

But even in those moments, there is always hope.

And one day, you’ll tell people how you pulled yourself out of the ocean—even when you couldn’t swim.

Until next time.
