Many women silently carry grief for the body they once had—not just in shape, but in identity, safety, and wholeness.

But behind her ability to function is a quiet struggle—one shaped by years of high-functioning anxiety, unresolved trauma, and unprocessed grief. What looks like balance from the outside is often a performance rooted in emotional exhaustion and survival mode.
