A gentle reminder I needed today — a good life isn’t about doing more, earning more, or being more. It’s about meaning and the people we love. 💛

I used to think rest was something I had to earn. But when burnout caught up with me, I realized rest was the only way back to myself.
This month’s blog is about that process; the small, real changes that helped me begin to recover. ✨ "Learning to Rest Without Guilt"

Small, honest steps that helped me recover from burnout.

Anxiety doesn’t always look like panic attacks or racing thoughts.
Sometimes it looks like overthinking a text, replaying a conversation, or canceling plans because you’re emotionally exhausted.
If this feels familiar, you’re not alone, and it doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means you’re human, doing your best to feel safe. 💛

Lately I’ve been noticing how easy it is to miss the early signs of burnout, pushing forward while slowly running on empty.
