Your Body Will Whisper Before It Screams

We often think burnout shows up as a crash.
But most of the time, it starts as a whisper.

A subtle tension in your shoulders.
A lingering sense of dread.
The way your stomach drops at the sight of your calendar.

But we override.
We caffeinate, hustle, and smile through it all.
We tell ourselves this is just what success looks like.

Until the whisper turns into a ROAR:
Exhaustion. Anxiety. Illness. Disconnection.

The body doesn’t lie.
And the truth it’s trying to tell us?

• Slow down.
• Something isn’t working.
• You weren’t meant to abandon yourself to achieve your goals.

Real alignment honors your nervous system.
It asks you to build a life that sustains you, not just one that impresses others.

So today, I invite you to check in:

• Where are you pushing through when you could be pausing?
• Where is your body asking for rest, gentleness, or care?

There is no prize for pretending you’re fine.

There’s just the truth.
And the courage to finally live it.

With you, 

Sarah
