Ever feel like you’re trying to do all the right things—but your body still feels tense, wired, or totally wiped out?
In this episode of Alive & Well, we’re unpacking how chronic stress hijacks your nervous system—and what it actually looks and feels like when you’re stuck in fight, flight, or freeze.
You’ll learn:
🔹 How the nervous system actually works under stress (and why it’s not about willpower)
🔹 What “fight,” “flight,” and “freeze” look like in high-functioning women
🔹 The real reason you can’t relax, focus, or stop overthinking when you’re dysregulated
🔹 Why stress responses aren’t bad—they’re just incomplete (and how to complete them)
Then I’ll guide you through how to recognize the signs of each stress state in your body—and teach you body-based tools to shift out of them in real time.
We’ll cover:
✔️ FIGHT – ragey outbursts, control mode, pressure cooker energy
✔️ FLIGHT – overworking, constant movement, anxious perfectionism
✔️ FREEZE – shutdown, fog, “what’s the point?” energy
✔️ REGULATION – how to stop overriding your body and start listening to it instead
Because real resilience doesn’t come from pushing through. It comes from knowing how to come back.
From working with your biology, not against it.
💡 Your nervous system isn’t the problem—it’s the pathway.
