Happy Mother's Day to every woman in this community 💛

Whether you're being celebrated today, celebrating someone else, or somehow doing both while being the one who sorted the plans, booked the restaurant, organised the family visit... and reminded everyone three times.

This is the day we're supposed to rest. For a lot of the women we work with, it ends up being one of the busiest.

One thing I see consistently in our labs: cortisol doesn't know it's Mother's Day. Your nervous system doesn't get the memo just because the calendar says celebrate.

Rest has to be chosen. On purpose. Even on the days you are the one holding everything together for everyone else.

So if you get 15 minutes today, a slow coffee before it starts, a walk between the chaos, five quiet breaths somewhere no one can find you, take them. Not as a reward. Because your body runs on it.

Wishing you a beautiful day, however it looks 💛
