14 | Why High Achievers Get Sick When They Finally Slow Down

Life does not pause just because we need a moment. My kids were home on a rare snow day, Louie was barking, the snowplow was loud, and after trying to record this over and over again, I decided to show up exactly as I am. Because that is the whole point of our Midweek Moments.Today I am talking about something so many of us go through, especially during the holidays. When you run on high stress for too long, your body holds it together until you finally slow down, and then it crashes. Last year, I pushed myself through months of travel and ended up with pneumonia the moment I stopped. I never want to go into a holiday season like that again and I do not want you to either.This episode is your reminder to take five minutes to reset before your body forces you to.
