What My Body Taught Me About Carrying Too Much
And why I built ME Mentalityā„¢ to help women finally put it down.Ā
Story
I know what it feels like to carry too much. Before I was ready to admit it ā€” my body already knew. It showed up as tension I couldn't release. Exhaustion that sleep couldn't fix. A stress response that had been building long before I was willing to listen. That moment ā€” when my body said enough before my mind was ready ā€” changed everything.
But I had seen it long before I felt it myself. As a Licensed Massage Therapist, I spent years in the treatment room creating space for women to slow down, breathe, and simply be. And over time I began seeing the same thing again and again. Women would come in carrying tension and pain that had nothing to do with their muscles. It was grief. It was exhaustion. It was years of pouring into everyone else with nothing left for themselves. Their bodies were telling the story their mouths never got to tell.
Again and again I heard the same theme: Somewhere along the way, they had stopped checking in with themselves. ME Mentalityā„¢ was created in response to those conversations ā€” and in response to my own. A space where women can pause, reflect, reconnect, and begin choosing themselves again. One intentional step at a time.
