Life is trauma. The more we take on the more punches we take. Let us not let our ambitions be weapons against ourselves. Leadership takes wisdom based on experience and learning.

The adrenals are the alarm, and the thyroid is the gas pedal. Trauma can offset both.

But yes, life and work is tough unless we have balance and willingness to grow from pain.

Keep breathing deep and take ashwagandha.

These times are more rough than most recent histories.

Sending love.
