Hi beautiful,
|
"It started as whispers. Then it became screams I didn't know how to hear."
|
For a long time, I wore busy like a badge of honour. I had lists, and I crushed them. There was something that felt so satisfying about ticking things off, moving fast, always being on. My worth felt completely tied to my output — the more I did, the more I was.
What I didn't realise was that underneath all that doing, my body was desperately trying to get my attention. It started as whispers. Fatigue I brushed off. Cycles that went quiet. A body that was working overtime to hold everything together while I kept adding to the pile. I didn't have the awareness then to understand what those signals meant. I didn't have the language for it.
Then came the screams I could no longer ignore. My period disappeared for ten years. Ten years. And when my husband and I tried for our second child, my body couldn't do what I so desperately wanted it to. Secondary infertility isn't something people talk about openly, but I'm here to tell you it brought me to my knees — and ultimately to my awakening.
It was a deep dive with a naturopath and blood work that most doctors won't ever run that finally showed me what was happening beneath the surface. The answers were there all along. My body had been speaking — I just hadn't been taught to listen. That journey led me to study more, to live more consciously, to understand that not everything packaged and sold to us is safe for our bodies. It led me here — to this community, to this work, to you.

This week's practice
The Daily Body Check-In
Each morning, before you reach for your phone, ask yourself three questions: How is my energy right now? Where am I holding tension in my body? What does my body need most today? Keep it in your notes app. No right answers — just honest ones.

Reflection
"What has your body been whispering to you that you haven't been ready to hear?"

Hit reply and tell me. I read every single one. 🌿
