Reply To: My body is my superpower: How listening to my body helps me lead better

I can also recognise myself in what you share… I have most often considered my body as a constraint, as something that prevents us, against our will, from sometimes pushing our limits. I rarely listened to the signals it gave me. Until developing an autoimmune disease during my first job at 24, where I had more than 80 people in my teams…. the doctor asked me if I had experienced a shock… but no, I had just supported a level of stress and had put myself under biologically unacceptable pressure. I then had to undergo an operation and be absent for 6 weeks. This enforced break was actually a gift as a leader. It allowed me to let go, trust my colleagues, and no longer feel indispensable.
