My first week back reminded me why last year nearly broke me

Hey Reader,

I just finished my first week back at work, you know what that means.

Back to meetings, emails, decisions, context switching, and that feeling of being “on” all day.

Thankfully it hasn't picked up fully just yet.

And honestly?
It brought something into focus for me.

The weeks off didn’t just help me rest and reset.
They helped me realise how burnt out I actually was last year.

When you’re in it - juggling work, training, life, expectations - you normalise the busy-ness, the exhaustion.
You tell yourself this is just what being driven and achievement looks like.
This is just the push season.
This is just adulthood. Right?

But when you finally slow down, your nervous system tells the truth.

And I’ve learned this the hard way.

Burnout rarely comes from one big breaking point. It comes from ignoring the small signals such as fatigue, irritability, and low energy.

This is why your weight loss goals might have stalled last year (or even years prior) - making you feel stuck.

When your system is overloaded, doing more isn’t the solution.
Training harder, eating in a calorie deficit, or pushing through fatigue doesn’t build a toned body, it adds more stress to a nervous system that’s already under pressure.

If you were burnt out last year.
This year is about choosing a way of living - and training - that’s actually sustainable.

That’s the methodology we use inside the True Wellness Transformation Project to help women understand what their body needs, and building a plan that supports their energy, health and weight results - not one that burns them out further.

If you felt this too, you’re not imagining it.
And you’re definitely not alone.

With love,
Tia 🤍
