For years, I was the person who could do it all. I built a successful career, raised a family, kept up with every demand, and wore resilience like a badge of honour. From the outside, it looked like I had it together. But on the inside? I was exhausted, burnt out, and running on empty.

Each day felt like groundhog day — surviving, not living. My health suffered, my energy disappeared, and the joy I once had for life and work faded into the background.

That was the turning point. I realised that the way I was living wasn’t sustainable. And I also realised I wasn’t alone — countless people around me were caught in the same cycle of stress, burnout, and default living.

My recovery wasn’t about a single breakthrough. It was about learning to reset my nervous system, reconnect with what really mattered, and realign my choices with the life I wanted to live — consciously, not by default.

The practices I discovered and refined became the foundation of my work today. They’re practical, science-based, and grounded in lived experience. They’re not just about “managing stress” or “coping,” but about creating the mental, emotional, and physiological conditions that allow each and every one of us to thrive.
