This is *so* important. 🙏
I’ve gotta be honest… I wasted thousands of dollars on supplements trying to “fix” my autoimmune mess. When you’re dealing with a chronic condition like I was ( TSHDS small fiber neuropathy, POTS, and Hashimoto’s), you’ll try anything that promises relief. I did the stacks. The

Stop chasing your "purpose." It's backwards thinking. Instead, cultivate these universal gifts: • Deep curiosity • Genuine kindness • Bold creativity • Joyful playfulness These qualities act like a magnet—drawing opportunities, connections, and meaning straight to you.

The people actually healing chronic pain, anxiety, and trauma aren't doing more therapy. They're walking outside, changing their sleep, fixing their relationships, eating real food, and moving their bodies in ways that feel good instead. They don't treat their thoughts like
