Casey, thank you for your insights into the dynamic movements of willpower. Like you, I’m a getter-doner, able to move and persevere through even the most dire and difficult of circumstances. Necessary and helpful, as you noted, but also not. I’ve lived much of my life in this survival state of over-functioning and found myself in a lovely little burnout about 4 years ago. Thank goodness! Since then, I’ve been learning to listen to the rhythms of my mind and body, moving in the ebbing and flowing of my energy. There has been a great deal of silence and stillness in my life the last four years, but I am as well as I have been in a long time. Reframing my idea of success was essential, as you observed. I so enjoy your writing and videos…thanks for all you do!
“Thank goodness!” This says so much. I’m sorry that you had to get right to the edge to make the shift, but I’m so glad for you that you listened and learned and healed. 🩵
Great to hear from you, Leslie. Thanks for reading. 🥰
Thank you, Lea! 🥰 It does feel like balance is entirely beside the point. So many things to balance that I’d just end up with lots of fragments. I do so much better when I go all in, then...don’t. 😅

I LOVE this for you. Discernment - reassessing - family time ❤️🥰 No such thing as balance.
