A year and a couple months after brain surgery.

For me, it was like, just because I can do all these things doesn't mean I should. And so I had to step back and reevaluate my own life to get stressors off my plate and be really conscious about, you know, my commitments. What do I say yes to? I don't want to be stressed and over committed and you know, even if I have full long days of working, I still, to this day, even a year and a couple months after brain surgery, I consciously take brain breaks.
