Years of pushing through can leave the body carrying a private ledger: tight shoulders, a set jaw, unfinished breath, a tiredness sleep does not fully reach. The bill is read without shame or promises of quick repair, giving the strain a place to be noticed before it compounds unseen.

Grounded and even, the same calm weight on every line — present without pushing, steady when the moment isn't.
Body Sent the Bill is a guided audio session from Salūs Rooms — part of the burnout collection, narrated by Marco Vella.
