I want to start out by saying I am not a medical professional, while I do have medical intuitive abilities, that ability is what really saved me. So I want to share my story, what burnout and adrenal fatigue looked like for me, what I have learned, and what has worked.

Adrenal Fatigue is not easily diagnosed. I went to over seven doctors in 2016 and 2017 with every symptom of adrenal fatigue and hypothyroidism ( a domino effect from the adrenal fatigue) and yet all my blood tests kept coming up as “in normal range”. I honestly thought I might be going crazy because well that is what the doctors kept implying. I was making it up. I can tell you, no one wants to make this up. However, endocrine disorders are something doctors still struggle to fully understand and blood tests do not always show there is an issue.

I have lived a good portion of my life in survival mode. However, in 2015, I went through some intense trauma that I chose to suppress what was happening in order to survive it, this trauma played out over about 6 months. I had no real help or outlet to release my anger, and my grief, and made the unhealthy decision to suppress it after my then-husband told me I couldn't lose it because I was the rock of the family. I spent the next 5 years in that toxic relationship where I didn’t feel safe because well actions speak louder than words…
