Ever had a moment where something tiny—like a spilled cup of tea—suddenly makes you lose it?
Crying, snapping, or just feeling totally overwhelmed?
It’s not just stress or weakness.
It’s your nervous system waving a white flag. 🚩
A few years ago, I stood in my kitchen, tea all over the floor, tears streaming down my face. It wasn’t the tea that broke me—it was years of holding everything in.
My husband’s cancer treatment.
Grad school deadlines.
Being strong for everyone but myself.
That was the moment I realized I couldn’t keep pushing through.
I was burned out. Fried.
My body wasn’t broken.
It was begging me to stop.
If you’ve ever felt like you were “too much” over something small, you’re not alone.
You’re not weak.
You’re carrying too much.
💭 What if instead of powering through, you could retrain your nervous system to feel safe, steady, and supported—no matter what life throws at you?
It’s possible for you.
And we’re walking that path together.
🫖 This week’s blog shares the moment it all cracked open—and how you can start healing from the inside out.
