I spent years in survival mode without even realizing it. I was always on edge, running on autopilot, and convincing myself I was “fine.” But I wasn’t living, I was just surviving. In this episode, I dive into what survival mode really looks and feels like: the constant stress, emotional numbness, and the exhaustion that never seems to end.

I talk about the hidden signs that show you might be stuck in survival mode, how trauma and chronic stress keep us there, and what happens when we stay in that state for too long. Most importantly, I share what’s actually helped me start to move out of it, the small, practical ways to begin healing, feeling safe again, and rebuilding your sense of self.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything just to keep your head above water, this episode will help you see that you’re not broken, you’re just surviving. And it’s time to start living again.
