Why does peace feel so uncomfortable when life finally slows down? If your nervous system has been stuck in fight-or-flight for years, calm moments can feel unsafe—like you’re waiting for the next crisis to hit. In this episode of Inner Sanctuary RAW, we’ll explore why your body resists peace, how trauma rewires your sense of safety, and the steps you can take to retrain your nervous system to trust stillness.

What you’ll discover in this episode:

  • Why your brain mistakes calm for danger when you’ve lived in survival mode

  • The connection between nervous system regulation and inner peace

  • A practical, 1-minute somatic reset to help your body feel safe

  • How to stop sabotaging calm and start creating safety from within

    If you’ve ever felt uneasy in silence, restless when things are “too good,” or addicted to chaos, this episode will help you understand why—and how to shift into a state of peace that actually feels safe.
