Four downloads. Four distinct moments where Dr. Marisa's intuition screamed "stop doing box jumps or you're going to tear your Achilles." And she kept going anyway. Until the pop. This raw conversation captures Marisa one week post surgery discovering that her emotions aren't mutually exclusive, that rest isn't about being productive during downtime, and that sometimes the universe physically removes your ability to keep doing what you've always done so you have no choice but to finally learn the lesson about letting go that you've been resisting all along.

🔥 In This Episode:

• The four intuitive downloads Marisa ignored before tearing her Achilles and what it teaches us about the cost of not listening to our bodies before they force us to stop
  
  
  
• How to hold space for feeling both grateful for support and pissed off that this happened without drowning in either emotion or reaching for toxic positivity
  
  
  
• The wild timing of being told by her team to let go of control at Heart Work Weekend, then physically losing the ability to mother her team just days later
  
  
  
• Why trying to be productive during rest is actually stealing energy from your healing and the hard lesson of learning that rest means doing nothing
  
  
  
• The difference between shoving emotions under the rug to find silver linings versus truly sitting in the messy middle where conflicting feelings can coexist
  
  
  

This isn't just a story about an injury. It's about what happens when you've been building toward a lesson and refuse to slow down enough to receive it. Sometimes your team tells you. Sometimes your intuition warns you. And sometimes your body makes the decision for you. The real work begins when you finally stop fighting the pause and start listening to what it's trying to teach you.
