Episode 26 - You Didn't Fail - You Outgrew Survival Mode
In this episode of The Survivor’s Chair, Kimgets honest about a phase no one really prepares us for; what happens when you start to outgrow survival mode.
After decades of running on adrenaline, owning a salon, caring for everyone else, drinking to take the edge off, and wearing exhaustion like a badge of honor she’s now sitting in a veryunfamiliar place, rest, quiet, and not wanting to live the way she did before.
Kim talks about the confusing in-between,the unmotivated, “lazy,” or stuck feeling when you’re actually just done with a life thatran on overgiving, people-pleasing, and trying to be everyone's savior.
She shares how cancerforced her to stop, why she chose to quit drinking, how her relationships andpriorities have shifted, and what it really looks like to start getting to knowyourself for the first time without the busyness, the wine, and the constantcaretaking.
This episode is for every woman who thinks she “should” be doing more, or doesn't know how to get off the hamster wheel and start over.
