When women start exploring minerals, burnout, or long-term depletion, this question almost always comes up:

Imagine with me for a moment that you are growing inside the womb of your mother. Her body is your first home, your sense of safety, your Source for Everything. Every move she makes ripples into you. Every soft sigh, every tear shed, every meal, all informing your being. Her nervous system shapes yours, her stress levels and cortisol production molds the future you. The amount of sunlight, joy and laughter she experiences tells your body how to greet life too.

Her vitality and health are not separate from you, they deeply shape the very foundation of your life.
