I didn’t realize how long anxiety had been quietly driving my habits until I started tracking it. I’d get those tight-chest mornings, random waves of dread in the middle of a meeting, or that all-too-familiar spinning brain at night. But when I finally sat down with a notebook and started logging—like, really logging—the patterns hit…
I used to think my back pain was just from sitting too long or maybe lifting my groceries wrong. But after years of being told “it’s probably stress,” I finally realized something wasn’t adding up. It wasn’t until I was diagnosed with PCOS that I started connecting the dots—turns out, those hormonal swings weren’t just…
I never thought something as simple as a facial steam could mess with my eyes, but it did.

Let me tell you, setting even the tiniest goal used to feel like climbing a mountain blindfolded. When my anxiety was at its peak, I’d open my to-do list, see “take a shower” or “respond to email,” and instantly feel overwhelmed. Sound familiar? If you’re in that headspace right now, you’re not alone—and you’re not…
Back when I was dealing with recurring upper back tension from working long hours at my desk, I stumbled across two methods that completely flipped the script for me—Alexander Technique and Feldenkrais Method.

If you’ve ever dealt with lower back pain, you already know it can be a massive disruptor. I remember waking up one morning and couldn’t even tie my shoelaces. My back had just had enough.
