Today, something happened.
Something I have never seen.
And it made me cry, to be honest.
My Oura Ring showed exceptional resilience—the highest level of stress recovery and nervous system health it tracks.
It’s the first time I’ve seen that word since the feature came out.
But it’s more than a number.
It’s a moment.
Because six months ago, I left the job that had my nervous system locked in survival.
For years, I pushed through.
I ate well. I meditated. I did breathwork. I tapped. I took supplements. I walked. I slept. I tried.
(And honestly? Those things helped me not die of stress and burnout.)
But it wasn’t until I walked away from what was draining me
that my body began to truly heal.
This post isn’t about metrics.
It’s about removal.
About subtraction.
About what happens when your body finally gets the message:
You’re safe now. You don’t have to brace anymore.
So much of health doesn’t begin with what you add.
It begins with what you say no to.
This video is what that looks like.
This is what healing looks like.
It is not linear.
Our dear bodies need love, time, understanding, patience, and trust.
Healing goes up. Then it goes down.
Then up again. Then down again.
Then up more often.
Then down again.
And finally—
it gathers momentum.
And there is no turning back.

This series explores the real reason so many health journeys stall:
Vitality doesn’t begin with diet or discipline. It begins with subtraction.
Not the chase to do more—but the bold, tender choice to stop carrying what’s been silently breaking you.
This is where your body starts to soften.
This is where your healing begins.
