Ever walked away from a conversation thinking “Why did I just say that?” “Why did I freeze?” “Why can’t I bring this up without freaking out?”

It’s not that you’re bad at communicating. 🧠 Your nervous system is just running the show.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into how your nervous system state is shaping your communication—whether you’re snapping, shutting down, or trying to keep the peace at your own expense.

We’re breaking down:

  • What fight, flight, freeze, and fawn actually look like in real-time convos
  • Why you can’t “talk it out” when your body feels unsafe
  • Somatic cues to watch for—and what to do in the moment to shift gears
  • How to build real awareness so your communication gets clearer, calmer, and more connected

🎧 Hit play and learn how to stop spiraling in hard conversations—and start speaking from a place of safety.
