## Caption

For 16 years I have battled an “unexplainable, unhealable chronic autoimmune pain disorder” called Fibromyalgia. 

Doctors told me they had no idea what was going on, what was causing it, and my only option was SSRIs and ‘reducing stress’. Bad advice for a Type A ambitious over achiever. 

I spent over $10,000 trying literally every treatment possible.

Then…? I noticed something no one ever mentioned. 

The only thing that helped my pain was somatic shaking, EMDR and energetic trauma release. 
I realized I was holding decades of toxic, suppressed emotion. 

And on the days I moved my body, I wasn’t in pain?

Then? I hosted focus groups with other women like me. 80% of the participants had PCOS, 75% had an autoimmune, 70% had anxiety.

I knew we all needed help and a solution that fits into our day to day life. 

That’s when I stumbled across the thing we all overlook. Walking and learned that: 
⤷ Walking is one of the most powerful tools for circadian syncing, nervous system regulation + hormonal balancing.
⤷ It somewhat mimics the trauma release mechanism of EMDR therapy (through bilateral brain stimulation).
⤷ It calms overthinking + over activation of the brain.
⤷ It reduces cortisol + adrenaline (which Type As produce more of).
⤷ And moves the inflammatory byproducts of toxic stress through and out the body (lactate, adrenaline metabolites, and inflammatory cytokines).
⤷ It builds BDNF (you will never be able to ‘manifest’ without this).

But then…
⤷ Pair it with engineered music? It shifts your limbic system + neurotransmitters.
⤷ Pair it with your breath - you can control your heart and & waves.
⤷ Pair it with affirmations and you can shift your identity. 

Suddenly, my “daily walk” didn’t just become a total chore anymore. It became a guaranteed win. 

It was healing me as I moved. 

So, I created my first set of walks and launched them last month inside dailydevotion. The feedback?

AMAZING. 

And now you get to try.
