There was a season when my body didn’t know peace.
My nervous system was in chaos. I lived in constant fight or flight, running from one thing to the next.
I was a single mom in nursing school, working out six days a week, meal prepping, cleaning, doing study groups, meetings, appointments, and church.
From sunup to sundown, I was going, no space to breathe, no room to just be.
I told myself I was disciplined. Focused. Strong.
But underneath, I was exhausted and anxious.
I was always late, constantly rushing, yelling at traffic that felt like it was moving at the speed of molasses.
And one day, when one of my kids wouldn’t listen, I snapped.
I screamed, “Why can’t you just freaking listen to me and obey!”
The second the words left my mouth, shame hit me like a wave.
I walked into the other room and cried.
I remember another day during that same season, getting a piece of news that shouldn’t have been a big deal, and it felt like my whole world was falling apart.
Like all the plates I’d been spinning in the air came crashing down at once.
The truth is, they didn’t.
But I did.
That was one of my wake-up calls.
My system couldn’t keep running at that pace.
Something deep inside me knew I couldn’t outwork the chaos anymore.
That’s when I started doing the deeper work,
the kind that helps you stop surviving
and connect with Spirit so you can start listening to your body again.🌿
