In 2019, during a particularly hectic time at work, I was able to squeeze in a three-day fishing trip to pause for a moment and break up the endless meetings. When I arrived at the airport to return home, I felt something like a hot iron on my back. Turns out the burning sensation wasn’t just back pain; I had shingles! What 30-year-old gets shingles? 

That’s when I realized I had been pushing myself too hard, and my body was breaking down because of it.
