When chronic pain or fatigue dictates what you can and can't do each day, the old "push through it" mindset tends to backfire. This session offers a clear, practical roadmap for working with your physical limits so you can regain a sense of control over your life. **What you'll learn** **\- The nervous system in survival mode**: how it affects your energy and mental clarity, and why this matters more than willpower **\- Breaking the boom\-and\-bust cycle**: the patterns behind overexertion and crashes, and how to build more sustainable pacing instead **\- Energy\-safe tools**: practical ways to manage pain, fatigue, and stress without draining your reserves further **\- Living well now**: building a meaningful life alongside your symptoms, rather than waiting for full recovery before things "really" begin **Breaking the cycle** We'll look at the common pattern of overextending and then being forced to recover. Understanding the physiology behind fatigue makes it possible to rest strategically, rather than out of guilt, and that's what builds consistency over time. **A practical, evidence-based approach** This session is for anyone looking for actionable, evidence-informed ways to manage complex symptoms, whether your goal is better work capacity or simply a better quality of life day to day. You'll leave with a concrete plan you can start using straight away. Come along to shift from just reacting to your symptoms, to living with a plan. **About the speaker** Frederica Tedeschi isn't speaking from a textbook. She's navigated chronic illness since childhood, and later became an ICF-certified coach helping others do what she once had to work out for herself: how to work *with* your energy, rather than fight it. This is lived experience combined with nervous-system-informed coaching. The real thing.
