   right, let's dive into this    
   week's episode, I want to talk about why I'm doing this episode when I was   
   living with the challenges of adenomyosis. Or when I was going through a lot   
   of pain and just the stress of having to kind of design my life around it. And   
   not getting sleep for a    
   week, every couple of weeks. If you want to hear more about that, you can go   
   back and listen to episode 232, where I talk about that in more detail. But   
   when I was going through that, it made me realize how often we're used to   
   suffering. We're used to    
   just, you know, having pain or having some kind of discomfort or being   
   exhausted, and really just downplaying it and saying, oh, you know, it's not   
   that bad. Or, oh, I'll just wait to see a doctor. Or I'll just, you know,   
   continue to kind of keep pushing    
   through, I just need to work harder, I just need to get off earlier or, you   
   know, I or I am able to just push through and people praise me for it. So that   
   motivates me to keep doing it. It really made me reflect on that both with   
   that. And also, after I    
   had COVID and my heart rate was higher. And yeah, it just made me really think   
   about these things. And I also hear from clients all the time, that really   
   struggle with this pressure to do it all and be at all. And we're conditioned   
   to ignore things like    
   exhaustion, or pain or other discomfort from our body in an effort to just   
   keep all the balls in the air, right? Like we just think like, well, I don't   
   have time for that or it's not that bad. Instead of really like valuing, if   
   there's, you know, valuing    
   ourselves enough and respecting ourselves enough to say, hey, you know what,   
   I'm not really feeling like myself, or outside of just kind of like more   
   medical symptoms, really just, you know, the sheer exhaustion and loud voice   
   of your inner critic that    
   you end up suffering with as a result of trying to do it all and be at all.   
   And I remember seeing this post on Facebook. This was a few years ago, and I'm   
   going to try and keep this as anonymous as possible. Pretty much no one   
   listening to this is going    
   to know who I'm talking about. So that's good. I don't think so at least.   
   Anyways, there was a post that came up on my Facebook feed and it was someone   
   praising their wife for working full time and
