Have you ever felt like you're just going through the motions, constantly stressed but unable to put your finger on why? For years, I was told to just "roll with the punches" and keep pushing forward. It wasn't until a recent therapy session that I had a massive breakthrough about how this was keeping my brain stuck in a 'low power mode.'
In this video, I share the powerful realization that changed how I approach stress, my relationships, and my own mental health. We talk about the difference between surviving and thriving, and how learning to pause is the most powerful thing you can do.
