The rush to “fix” a new year can feel like a tidal wave. I'm choosing a different current: release what isn’t working, listen to the body, and let intuition set the pace. After a joyful but taxing holiday stretch, I unpack how subtle stress built up as inflammation, fatigue, and old control patterns—then walk through the simple choices that brought ease back fast.

Getting honest about drifting from intention, trying to schedule our way to health, and why “survival mode” can sneak in even when life looks good. You’ll hear the moment a waterfront walk shifted everything after a functional medicine consult, and the practical reset that followed: earlier dinners, a 14–16 hour fasting window that suits my rhythms, protein-forward evenings, low-intensity strength sessions guided by intention and energy, and a nightly castor oil ritual that signaled safety to the nervous system. The result wasn’t a grind; it was less swelling, better sleep, more stable energy and moods.

I also dive into the mental side of letting go, drawing on The Power of Letting Go by John Purkiss: releasing sticky narratives, noticing resistance, and replacing planning spirals with presence. A one-prompt daily journal became the anchor for self-awareness and a dose of humor. We talk boundaries, asking for help, and setting down the weight we carry for others. Most importantly, we explore how loosening our grip opened space for creativity and flow—including a freer cadence for future episodes that favors depth over deadlines.
