We are all seeking safety. It's a human need. Unfortunately, our survival brain can sabotage us with thoughts that safety comes from the love and attention of others, our accomplishments, our appearance, etc... none of which we can always depend on. Listen in as we talk about specific ways we can be our own safe space.

Maybe constantly keeping ourselves busy isn't something that's serving us. Learn why constantly being busy and striving to be a "multi-tasker" might be doing more bad than good and why we tend to use it as an escape from our feelings. Sometimes being restless and trying to do and experience everything leads to us not being able to really experience anything.

Episode 35 is all about FOMO! We discuss why we feel it, what we do to avoid feeling it, and what it ultimately creates. You can create the life you really want, not the life others say you should have.

Why do we love to hate? Hate is one of the most intense emotions we can feel, but it's a problem for us because it's our survival brain's answer to fear. Hate and disdain may feel good in the moment, but it only provides temporary safety, will not empower us, and will create negative results. 

Karen explains the difference between being nice and being kind. When we are kind to ourselves it shows up in our interactions with others and we are kind without people pleasing. 

Finding a way to play with your survival brain and anticipate the thoughts it will give you helps you find ways to fight it. It's empowering to be one step ahead of your enemy!
