This week, we’re talking about what it feels like when your body hits a wall—when you’re doing all the things, but still feel like you’re dragging yourself through the day. I’ve been there. From chronic exhaustion to physical pain that forced me to stop everything, I’m sharing my own story of burnout and the wake-up call it gave me. If your body is waving the white flag, this is your reminder that it’s not betraying you—it’s begging you to listen. In this episode, I offer simple, real-life strategies to start restoring your health with intention, not guilt. Ask yourself: What’s one thing my body is trying to tell me today? And what’s one habit I can stop or start that will honor my physical health? Let’s build rhythms that let us thrive, not just survive.Get I Do Hard Things: https://a.co/d/cWL9Q8K

| 0:00.0 | Have you ever felt like your body is waving a white flag, but your whole life demands a marathon? |
| 0:06.6 | Today we're going to talk about hitting the wall with your physical body. And I'm telling you what, |
| 0:13.1 | this has been the wall consistently in my life. And so I'm not talking to you as somebody who's |
| 0:19.1 | figured it out. I'm speaking to you, like with you because gosh, this is something that I often face and have to figure this part out. |
| 0:27.1 | So I have found that when I'm facing physical burnout, that wall, that thing, I often feel tired even after a full night's sleep over and over and over. |
| 0:38.6 | I feel like my body is just everything is tight. |
| 0:42.0 | Everything I put on my body feels tight. |
| 0:43.8 | My hands feel like stiff. |
| 0:45.4 | Like everything just feels stiff and foggy and just inflamed. |
| 0:50.2 | And it feels like after I do one or two things, I just crash hard. It's like, okay, I can rally for |
| 0:56.2 | the morning, but then at night I'm just exhausted. Or I can rally for a little bit, but man, I get |
| 1:01.7 | that one Sabbath and then I'm tired by Monday. And that's just not like me normally. So I know, |
| 1:07.7 | wait a minute, my body is telling me something is wrong. I remember a couple years ago, |

| 1:22.5 | oh, I'm going to go into Thanksgiving and Christmas, which I'd never book events because I really |
| 1:27.0 | like to be home for |
| 1:27.7 | Christmas and the holidays and all the things. And I started getting this kind of weird neck pain. |
| 1:33.7 | And I thought, oh, it's kind of weird. It's like a pinch nerve. Well, it escalated. It didn't just |
| 1:39.3 | start with a small, I mean, it continued and continued. And it became week after week, and it got worse. |
