Let’s be honest—sometimes peace feels more like a threat than a relief. If you’ve ever found yourself asking “Why do I keep ending up in toxic friendships, dramatic relationships, or jobs that drain the life out of me?”... this episode is for you.
In Comfort in the Chaos, I unpack why your nervous system might be addicted to dysfunction, why chaos can feel oddly comforting, and how growing up in a high-stress or emotionally unstable environment trains your brain to find “safety” in all the wrong places. We’re diving into the science behind why your body craves what it knows—even when what it knows is chaos—and how you can start rewiring that response.
I’ll share some stories from my own chaos-loving era (spoiler: I had a PhD in picking projects with legs), how I used to find friendships that needed me to be the hero, and why learning to stop fixing people has made me a better, more genuine friend.
This episode is equal parts science, story, and soul work—and it’s not just about recognizing your patterns, it’s about breaking them. We’re making peace feel like home again.
So if you’re tired of chaos being your comfort zone, grab your headphones—we’re about to reintroduce your nervous system to calm… and teach it not to panic.
