Defensiveness | The Armor We Mistake for Safety


Listen Later

In this second installment of the 9-part mini-series on emotional and behavioral anchors that distort our life and relationships, Meredith explores defensiveness as the armor we mistake for safety. From ancestral trauma to personal heartbreak, we are unraveling how this once-intelligent survival strategy becomes a prison that blocks connection, healing, and presence. With somatic reflections, personal story, and spiritual insight, you’ll be guided to soften the armor, shift from reactivity to response, and reclaim your embodied sovereignty. This episode is a tender, transformative invitation to stop guarding your wounds—and start living from your wholeness.
