Hey Beautiful Human!

For most of my life, I always lived on the go. Overcommitting to loads of activities during high school. Overworking when I took on way too many tasks and projects when I worked in design and communications.

During this time, I thought that this was normal for me. Normal for my body to live day-to-day stressed and exhausted, both mentally and physically. Soon this “normalcy” ultimately led to the biggest shift in my life.

In 2017 after working until 2am, I was driving home despite being extremely exhausted. Two exits away, I thought to myself, “Let’s pull over and take a quick nap.” Only to wake up with my car on fire. 

I had hit a parked bus head on after my body shut down due to exhaustion. I didn’t even realize what was going on until I got out of the car, work bag in hand, and took in the scene. Since that night, I knew that I could not participate in this “normalcy” that I basically prided myself on. That I no longer wanted to work myself to an early grave.
