Hey Reader, It’s been almost 300 episodes, and I realized something recently… I haven’t fully re-shared my healing story in a really long time. So as a way to celebrate the new year, I'm telling my story again — but with new details, deeper clarity, and perspective I didn’t have the first time I shared it… all the way back in Episode 1.

Hey Reader, Have you ever had a practitioner casually tell you, “You need to cut out caffeine,” and your whole brain just went: “I’m sorry… WHAT?” Yeah. That moment.
