Welcome to your first audio lesson. Let's start with some calming techniques:

Wherever you are, know that you are not alone, weak, or broken. The course creator shares their personal story, detailing their journey to burnout over many years. Their lifestyle led to chronic alertness, always being busy, and thriving on productivity.

Despite positive motives like faith and passion, the individual's fast-paced lifestyle eventually led to severe burnout. They experienced physical symptoms like facial twitching and were diagnosed with severe adrenal fatigue, forcing them to slow down and reflect on their choices.

Struggling with being overwhelmed, striving for perfection, and feeling pressure to maintain a hectic life, the individual eventually reached a breaking point. Despite challenges, they found purpose in their suffering and created a course, Slow By Design, focused on healing and rediscovering God-given pace.

Embracing weakness, rest, and spiritual growth, the course aims to help others navigate burnout, renew their souls, and embrace a slower, grace-filled life. Through shared experiences and lessons learned, participants are encouraged to walk the journey of healing and self-discovery. Welcome to Slow By Design.
