Episode Description

Have you ever wondered why the new year brings so much pressure to move faster, even when your body feels tired and out of sync?

In this episode, Laura shares a perspective that reframes fatigue, resistance, and the urge to slow down through the lens of evolutionary mismatch and seasonal rhythm. Rather than pushing harder, this conversation invites curiosity, compassion, and a deeper understanding of what your body may be asking for right now.

This episode is especially supportive for women navigating life after breast cancer who want to build health and healing without forcing themselves into timelines that do not fit their biology.
