My ‘go-mode’ led me to an intense adrenal fatigue burnout, to health problems, to emotional instability, to living a life filled with stress, to exhaustion, to holding on to way too much in my body, and constant overwhelm within my nervous system. This is not the picture of wholesomely thriving.

I didn’t know that there was another option. Another way to live. This is what I was used to. This is what was expected of me. This is what our workplaces expect of us. This is what our parents expect of us. This is what society expects of us.
