Looking back at 2016, I can see how much effort I was pouring into holding everything together.
On the surface, life looked good. Inside, my body was quietly asking for something different.
This wasn’t a dramatic turning point or a quick fix.
It was years of unlearning the belief that rest had to be earned, that food had to be worked off, that my worth was tied to how much I could push.
What changed wasn’t my ambition - it was how I related to my body.
Health stopped being something I’d “get to later” and became the foundation for everything else.
I share this because I see so many capable, driven people stuck in the same loop - doing more, trying harder, while feeling increasingly disconnected from themselves.
Change didn’t come from more pressure.
It came from nourishment, steadiness, and learning to listen.
If this resonated, save it for a moment when you need the reminder 🤍
