After the extremely difficult, natural birth of my first, I had zero energy. Caring for my newborn was way harder than I'd ever imagined. I was only getting about 4-5 hours (if I was that lucky) of broken sleep every night, and almost never had a nap during the day. I had a high-maintenance baby who was constantly hungry and feeding. My body was beyond exhausted and I was being spread way too thin.
My mom reminded me about my 60-pack of Calli I had and told me to start drinking one a day. I hardly ever drank Calli since I preferred Fortune Delight, but I was desperate for anything and started having one tea-bag a day religiously. Almost immediately, I was having way more energy! I noticed that I could easily stay wide awake - with energy to spare - from 5:00 a.m. to midnight! It was incredible. My body and mind started functioning as if I'd had a solid 8 hours of sleep, when I was still only getting 3-5 broken hours a night.
I especially knew it was the Calli when one morning I forgot to brew some and didn't drink any. By about 4:00 p.m. in the afternoon, I was dead. I couldn't even get off the couch to go to my crying baby because I was SO EXHAUSTED. And then I remembered I hadn't had Calli that morning! Of course, from then on, I drank my Calli every day and started living a normal life again, even on a few hours of sleep!
I love Calli. I'm so impressed by the sustained, calm but sharp-minded ENERGY it gives me. It's not like a sugar high, or energy/caffeine-drink high, it's a sustained but sure energy. I'm so thankful for Calli!
Picture: Brady is a few weeks old here, and I'm actually feeling normal, thanks to the Calli!
