Introduction to Pushing Limits
00:00:03
Speaker
You and I are living life like it is an emergency. And so we spend so much of our lives, and this is what happened to me, edging just up to that limit of what our body and our mind and our soul can take.
The Breaking Point Analogy
00:00:17
Speaker
And we keep pushing it, and we keep pushing it, and we keep pushing it. And for me, it was like I was tightening the violin string on my life. And one day, I tightened it just a little bit more.
00:00:31
Speaker
and it snapped. As human, messy miracles can only take so much chaos.
Invitation to a New Way of Living
00:00:39
Speaker
I have a feeling that you're tired of information. You're tired of people telling you what to do. Instead of information today, I'm going to give you an invitation and some inspiration for a different way to live.
00:00:55
Speaker
a different way to live that looks like hope and it feels like freedom.
Internal Struggles and Chaos
00:01:02
Speaker
You have a war going on inside of you. Faith trumps fear, life triumphs over death, joy overwhelms mourning, and I will forever dance between the tension of my will and his.
Acknowledging Mental Health Needs
00:01:18
Speaker
I feel him whisper, do you want to feel peace and joy again?
00:01:24
Speaker
You can't work your way out of this one on your own. Be still and know that I am not. It was supposed to be so beautiful, this story of mine. It certainly wasn't supposed to involve panic attacks on the bathroom floor or walking into a mental health treatment center to ask for help.
00:01:41
Speaker
The thing is, I looked like I had it all together and I honestly thought that I did.
Laura’s Journey Through Chaos
00:01:46
Speaker
But I wouldn't change a thing because now I get to share the journey with you, the mess and the miracle. My name is Laura Fleetwood and this is my story.
