We really did think the corner office was the goal.
Now the dream is sleeping through the night, eating a meal without your shoulders up around your ears, and getting through a Tuesday without that low hum of dread you cannot trace back to anything specific.
Nobody tells you that ambition has a physical cost. Your nervous system was in alert mode for a decade, and it was very good at it, which is exactly the problem. It never learned how to stop.
That does not just live in your head. It lives in your body. Your ribs, your hips, your jaw, your low back, the way your breathing stopped going all the way down at some point around your late twenties.
This is where manual osteopathy comes in and why I like it so much for this.
It is hands-on work with fascia, joints and soft tissue.
Gentle, slow, no needles, no cracking. Because tension and nervous system state are physically connected, easing restriction in the body helps the system underneath it come down too.
You cannot think your way out of a braced body.
You can be worked out of one.
Most women are genuinely surprised by how little force is involved, and by how they feel for the next three days.
I am in Calgary at the Vanity Vault on 4th Street SW, and in Three Hills and Wainwright.
