What I learned face down on an acupuncture table
The day that changed everything—and inspired a tool I wish I’d had back then.
Face down on the acupuncture table.
I still remember the weight of my face in the headrest.
The humming of a space heater.
The fear of the needles.
And the ache—deep and relentless—that wasn’t just from my shoulder and arm injury.
I’d pushed through months of pain, ignoring every signal my body gave me.
Typing, presenting, working late—proving I could keep up. Until the repetitive strain became a work disability… and my body called a full stop.
It wasn’t a graceful, “I think I need to rest.” It was collapse.
Grief came first—waves and waves of it. Then the cold realization: I had abandoned myself in the name of success.
That day, I made a promise: Never again.
And not just for me.
For every woman who’s ever given so much that she disappears inside her own life.
This was me then.
Powered by caffeine, deadlines, and the belief that “rest” was for after the launch.
Smile: 100 watts.
Jazz hands: fully engaged.
Nervous system: holding on by a paperclip.
And now, seven years later?
I’m releasing something I wish I’d had back then— something that could have helped me see the proving patterns and ignored boundaries before they became a work disability.
Something that might have caught the whispers of burnout before they turned into a full collapse.
Something that could have spared me months of physical recovery and years of untangling worthiness from overwork.
It’s called the Meredith AI Coach—a robust, personal, always-on companion trained in the exact Soul-Yes approach I use with my private clients.
It’s me—on my clearest, most grounded day—available to you every day.🧡
