1230. 10 Signs You Need to Slow Down + Early Heart Attack Signs Women Miss w/ Kerrie Lee Brown

Hey, Heal Squad! What happens when your body literally forces you to slow down? Sometimes it shows up as a cold… sometimes a diagnosis… and sometimes something much bigger. That’s exactly what happened to Kerrie Lee Brown, Editor-in-Chief of SUCCESS Magazine and now a passionate heart-health advocate. In honor of Heart Health Month, Kerrie shares the story of the heart event that changed everything at just 39 years old. She was at the peak of her career, juggling life and family, and brushing off subtle symptoms she now realizes were serious warning signs.In this episode, you’ll learn what those early signs looked like (and why they’re often different in women), plus the 10 signals your body may be asking you to slow down. More importantly, we talk about why doing more isn’t always sustainable, and how learning to say no, protecting your energy, and removing constant urgency can actually support long-term health and healing. If nothing else, let this conversation be your reminder to start listening to your body sooner. HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: Your body warns you long before a crisis: Symptoms like fatigue, breathlessness, headaches, and unusual pain aren’t “normal busy life” they’re early signals asking you to pay attention. Burnout isn’t strength, it’s stress accumulating: High achievers often push through(out of guilt or productivity pressure), but ignoring limits doesn’t build resilience, it builds risk. Prevention lives in daily habits and boundaries: Regulating stress, resting without guilt, and protecting your energy can change your health trajectory more than powering through ever will.
