🔹 FND & Burnout Recovery: Relearning Balance, Reclaiming Self

There’s a moment in every recovery journey when you stop chasing who you were and start getting curious about who you’re becoming.

In this episode of a friends Podcast, I opened up about my journey with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and the deep layers of burnout that came before it — the kind that doesn’t just drain your energy, but your identity.

For years, I pushed through.
Through pain, through pressure, through the expectations of a world that rewards constant doing and rarely celebrates simply being.

And then my body said no.

FND taught me what no performance review, success milestone, or productivity hack ever could:
That rest is not a reward — it’s a requirement.
That healing isn’t about getting back to who you were — it’s about evolving into someone stronger, softer, and more aligned.

Now, years later, I’ve learned to rebuild with compassion and boundaries. I’ve learned to listen — not just to the noise around me, but to the whispers within.

If you’ve ever felt trapped between ambition and exhaustion, or struggled to understand how your mind and body could be speaking such different languages — this episode is for you.

💭 We talk about:

• How FND develops through trauma, stress, and overwork
• The signs of high-functioning burnout people often miss
• Why healing requires slowing down — not giving up
• How to rebuild a life that supports both purpose and peace

This isn’t just a story about illness — it’s a story about alignment. About learning that sometimes, life has to break you open so you can finally live honestly.
