so i had a concussion 3 months ago
dont worry im perfectly fine now
I wanted to wait a couple of months before sharing the details.
And if you think I’m going to share in this email, I won’t– you’ll just have to listen to the episode (I know I’m a tease…)
We all know that whenever post Labor Day hits everyone is always feeling SO overwhelmed.
We think we can be superheroes and do everything, when the reality is that we can’t and we have to be realistic and honest with ourselves, our bodies and the people we love.
Getting the concussion I had to readjust to my expectations in body, mind and health, and maybe you also have to readjust to realistic expectations as well.
Like you, I often think, “I miss being in my 20s, I was able to do everything.”
But now that I’m older the reality is, “I was able to LIE to myself in my 20s, and do everything when the reality is that I didn’t know how to hold boundaries, and didn’t listen to my body to identify what is my realistic energetic capacity.
This episode is different—I’m being interviewed by Keeley Antonio for her Feelswell Experiences podcast.
Honestly, I was going to record a separate solo episode about what happened, but since I talked to Keeley about it first, I figured:
Let’s work smarter, not harder, and just reshare it.
OR maybe I’m just lazy? lol
