In late September 2022, I faced immense stress from various sources, including Hurricane Ian's devastation of my hometown and my recovery from COVID-19. Upon returning home, I experienced overwhelming physical symptoms like jaw clenching and difficulty controlling my tongue. Coupled with the demands of my professional lifeâgiving multiple talks as a newly published authorâthese pressures compounded, leading to the misassumption of potential TMJ disorder. My experience reflects the intricate relationship between emotional turmoil and physical health during a time of crisis.
Despite an immense personal crisis marked by both the devastation of Hurricane Ian and my recovery from COVID-19, I find myself seeking balance amid chaos.
The cumulative stress from my relocated life and increasing travel commitments due to my newly published book stood in stark contrast to the physical symptoms I was experiencing.
