\u201cHot take for the week, my inner girl boss is dead and my \u2018snail girl\u2019 era has begun.\u201d <\/strong>One day, Sienna Ludbey shared this revelation with her friend Beci.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The term \u201csnail girl\u201d was coined by Sienna Ludbey in an Australian fashion magazine, Fashion Journal. It refers to a cadre of young women who pace themselves, retreat when necessary, and advance in life at their own rhythm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sienna, a Melbourne native, launched her boutique brand Hello Sisi in 2019. Her affection for Hello Kitty and her nickname, Sisi, inspired the brand’s name. At that time, she was working at a coffee shop. Each day after work, she would craft handbags from household items like candy wrappers and old shoe boxes, even creating a bag from an old Nike box which she carried daily. One fortuitous day, she walked into a store named Coco, where the owner Ellie was charmed by her handmade bags and decided to sell them on consignment. This moment marked the inception of Hello Sisi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon establishing her brand, Sienna quit her coffee shop job to immerse herself in her venture. As the brand garnered popularity, Sienna found herself engulfed by a \u201cgirl boss\u201d mentality, pouring all her time into her work and fervently expanding her brand and online presence. To her, success was a form of self-validation, and flaunting her busyness on social media was the simplest way to achieve it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Identifying as a reformed girl boss, Sienna, who once worked seven days a week, felt perpetually behind. Hello Sisi was her labour of love, making it hard for her to let go and take a step back, yet the hectic lifestyle was suffocating her. During a candid conversation with her therapist Jen, she shared, \u201cJen, I\u2019m worried I\u2019m losing drive. I don\u2019t care so much about the end goal anymore, I just want to live a happy life.\u201d Post discussion, Sienna realised she didn’t need to be so stringent with herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Certainly, not everyone has the luxury to hit \u201cpause\u201d in their professional lives. However, one can blend some \u201csnail girl\u201d elements into life without hindering their income, by setting personal and professional boundaries to preserve a tranquil life. Sienna slowly acknowledged the necessity of seeking help from others, and found the notion of expanding her team quite exhilarating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, many content creators are lately advocating for a slower pace of life. KOL Amber Lord (lifeandworkbutbetter@TikTok) expressed, \u201cIf you’re sick and tired of the girl boss era, then it’s time to enter your snail girl era. Basically it is about slowing down at work, taking your PTO (paid time off), taking your vacation days, taking your sick days when you feel sick, using up all of your breaks, being gentle with yourself, creating a better sense of work life balance for yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another advocate of eschewing the nine-to-five grind, blogger Shaina (2shaina@TikTok), concurred that the girl boss epoch has \u201cconcluded\u201d, \u201cSnail girl is a trend that sees women prioritise slow living, happiness, self-care, and purpose, over hustle culture, overworking, and colonially idealised standards of success.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
