The stress you don’t count - but your body always does.
There’s a kind of stress that never shows up on your calendar.
It’s not a deadline.
It’s not a crisis.
It’s not the “busy season.”
It’s the quiet kind - the kind you don’t even register as stress because you’ve been carrying it for years.
I talked about this on the Business With Chronic Illness Podcast with Nikita Williams last week, and it struck a chord with so many of you.
We unpacked why:
Your gut health is silently influencing your creativity, clarity, and decision-making
You can feel “fine” on paper and still be in fight-or-flight
Your body collapses long before your mind admits how tired you are
You disappear when you don’t feel well… and feel like you’re starting from zero every time you come back
The truth is simple, and uncomfortable:
You’ve normalized stress your body never agreed to carry.
On the episode, I shared the question I ask myself every morning — the one that changed the way I run my business, the way I listen to my body, and the way I build sustainability.
If you’re a high-achieving woman who’s tired of pushing through and pretending you’re fine…
This conversation will meet you where you actually are.
Remember: You’re not falling apart. You’re not lazy. Your body is communicating… and when you learn its language, everything gets easier.
