I didn’t disappear — I was rebuilding.
In this episode, I’m getting honest about being MIA, navigating perimenopause, and listening to my body when it demanded rest. We talk fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, and the pressure to “push through” when your nervous system is begging you to slow down.
I also share why completing my first 5K — walking most of it and finishing anyway — became a powerful reminder that progress doesn’t have to be perfect to count.
We dive into real-life neuroscience (without the jargon), neuroplasticity, nervous system regulation, and why peace is maintenance — not laziness. This is a conversation about healing without shame, gratitude without toxic positivity, and creating a better year by choosing consistency, compassion, and honesty.
If you’ve been starting slow, feeling off, or rebuilding quietly — this episode is for you.
