I did everything right, and my body still fell apart.
In 2013, I was managing beautifully. Two young children, a full-time role in the pediatric emergency room, graduate nursing courses at night, and a husband who traveled. From the outside, I had it handled.
Inside, my body was quietly falling apart.
Anxiety I couldn't outrun. Chronic pain. A gut that had turned on me. Inflammation no one could explain. So I did the exact thing I tell my patients not to do: I pushed through. Every test came back normal, and I was told I was fine.
I wasn't. It took me years to understand what was really happening, that prolonged stress had retrained my body to live in survival mode, and it had never learned how to come back out.
So I learned how to bring it back, then turned that recovery into a clear, repeatable method, so the next capable woman never has to figure it out alone.
