In Part 2 of this two-part series, Laura reflects on what unfolded during and after her water fast — and how the experience became a powerful lesson in listening rather than pushing. What began as a pattern interruption around food quickly revealed how much “hunger” was actually habit, environment, and routine. As the fast progressed, calm, clarity, and connection emerged, supported by shared accountability with her brother. Focused on autophagy, longevity, and caring for her body so she can be present for her family, Laura then received devastating health news about someone she deeply loves. The timing felt like a powerful synchronicity and reframed the fast as an act of reverence and devotion rather than endurance. Ultimately, Laura chose to end the fast early, guided by intuition, support, and alignment — a reminder that true strength lies in listening to the body and honoring what matters most.
