La Souveraine Book a call
— Journal Wednesday · August 12, 2026

You finally took time off.

All inclusive, ocean view.

By day three you were still checking your inbox — replaying that last conversation with that one contentious colleague, unable to fully land in the present moment.

By day five, you start to relax in a way you haven't felt in a long time. You're in your body, a sense of joy and calm returns. You haven't slept this well in ages.

But your body knows what's coming — the hypervigilance, the inability to shut off, the low hum of stress and fear that's just become background music.

You're surprised at how emotional this makes you — almost as if your body is pleading.

And somewhere beneath it, a quiet voice that knows —

That this — the calm, the joy, the presence — shouldn't be something you have to earn.

Something you only get to feel two weeks out of the year.
