Sometimes your body has to scream before you’ll listen… and .au story is a perfect example of that. She didn’t just “burn out” — she literally broke her back first, and when that wasn’t enough to slow her down, she ended up having a mental breakdown too. 💔
Emma shares how a snowboarding accident forced her into rest (hospital, back brace, the whole thing) and how that space gave her clarity to start her business.
But once she recovered, she went straight back into overdrive — running multiple businesses, studying, freelancing, travelling… until her mind hit a wall. 🌀
The moment she realised she wasn’t okay was terrifying, and it became the wake-up call that you don’t need to physically or emotionally break to finally take a break.
If you’ve been pushing through and telling yourself you’ll rest “later”… how much longer are you willing to wait? ⏳
