My divorce was finalized last week.
The weeks leading up to it were a blur of sickness, logistics, and solo parenting with no real pause after the holidays.
Yes - I’m okay. ❤️🩹
And this season is demanding in a way that doesn’t turn off.
I keep going because there isn’t another option - and that kind of strength is tiring.
👉🏻 Here’s what keeps coming back to me.
Years ago, during a season that felt much smaller than this one, I completely unraveled.
My son was a baby.
It was 3 AM.
He’d been up for the millionth time.
I remember standing in my closet, slamming the door over and over again because I could not handle one more sound, one more need, one more moment.
That wasn’t who I wanted to be.
But my body was fried.
My nervous system was shot.
And my mind had no bandwidth left to regulate anything.
That version of me lived on the edge of anxiety, depression, and emotional reactivity.
Mindset tools didn’t land because my body couldn’t receive them.
This season - as heavy as it’s been - hasn’t taken me there. Even though I face everything alone.
Not because I’m tougher.
Not because I “think better thoughts.”
But because my body has more capacity now.
And that’s where mindset actually comes in.
When your nervous system is supported…
When your hormones aren’t constantly pulling you into survival…
When your body isn’t screaming for help…
🧠 Your mind can do its job.
You can pause.
You can choose differently.
You can feel big emotions without exploding or collapsing.
This is why the work we do at Simply Healthy is so transformative.
It’s never just physical.
It’s never just mental.
It’s the bridge between the two.
If you’ve ever thought, “Why am I like this?”
It’s not a character flaw. It's not just stress.
And it’s not “just mindset.”
There’s a way to build more capacity - in your body and your mind - and that’s what I talk about here.
If this resonated, you’re in the right place. 💚
