His sandwich was getting cold. Twelve hours of chaos had left his hands shaking around a coffee cup. But he went in anyway, and what he heard in that room quietly changed everything.Not overnight. Not dramatically. But he walked out carrying something he hadn’t felt in years: the possibility that calm doesn’t require a different life, just a different way of moving through this one.He spent the next decade testing every practice in these pages during night shifts, staffing crises, and the kind of days that break people.
