I recently got some tests done and found out I have adrenal fatigue and my hormones are all over the place. This didn’t shock me at all because the feeling of burnout has been very present and I haven’t listened to my body when it’s screaming at me to slow down since... well maybe ever? A huge part of us moving to Missouri and living with my parents for a season is to embark on a slower paced life, one where we actually get to enjoy family and where rest is not something to feel guilty about. We are taking a step back from the hustle culture and recalibrating and it feels SO good. We want to buy a home out here next year but staying with my parents has been such sweet relief from the grind of being new parents without our village. I don’t know who needs to hear this but it’s never too late to start building the life of peace you crave for yourself and your family. It’s all about taking baby steps back to a more sustainable rhythm that doesn’t deplete you or rob you of your joy. For us that looks like early morning workouts together, quality time with family, prioritizing rest, and getting out in nature more. We aren’t where we want to be yet but we can tell we are headed in the right direction. 🤍 #s#slowlivings#slowlifes#slowparentings#slowpacedlifem#mindfulparentingm#mindfulparents#softlifes#softgirlb#burnoutrecoveryp#parentingmorningroutine #burntoutparent #burnout #parentsoftiktok
