In this episode, Jaz explores why rest can feel uncomfortable, anxiety-producing, or even unsafe — especially for people who are used to staying busy, productive, and in control.

Rather than treating rest resistance as a discipline or mindset issue, this conversation explains how the nervous system associates slowing down with danger when it has learned to survive through constant action and responsibility.

This episode breaks down why stillness can bring up restlessness, guilt, or anxiety, how productivity becomes tied to safety and self-worth, and what it actually takes to teach your body that rest won’t cost you something.

In This Episode, We Talk About:

• Why slowing down can trigger anxiety or guilt

• How the nervous system learns to equate movement with safety

• Why rest removes distraction and brings emotions to the surface

• The difference between true rest and nervous system shutdown

• How productivity becomes a survival strategy

• What regulating rest actually looks like

• How to begin resting without overwhelming your system

This is a gentle, grounding episode designed to meet you mid-week — when your nervous system is often holding the most.

n this episode, Jaz breaks down one of the most misunderstood experiences in healing: survival mode.

If you’ve ever felt emotionally disconnected, constantly tired, unable to relax, or like healing “isn’t working” no matter how much inner work you’ve done — this conversation will help you understand why.

Rather than framing these experiences as personal failures or mindset issues, this episode explains how the nervous system adapts to long-term stress, emotional pressure, and responsibility — and why those adaptations are not flaws, but protection.

You’ll learn how survival mode can look quiet and functional on the outside while still keeping you disconnected on the inside, and why safety — not force — is the key to healing.

In This Episode, We Talk About:

• What survival mode actually is (and what it’s not)

• Why being “high-functioning” doesn’t mean you’re regulated

• How emotional shutdown, numbness, and exhaustion are nervous system responses

• Why mindset work alone doesn’t resolve survival patterns

• Common signs your body is still prioritizing safety over connection

• Why healing feels slow — and why that’s normal

• How safety is rebuilt through small, consistent experiences

• What to focus on instead of trying to “fix yourself”

  This episode is educational, grounding, and deeply validating for anyone who’s been carrying too much for too long.

In this episode, Jaz breaks down the nervous system reason so many people feel emotionally shut down, numb, disconnected, or guarded — even when they want love, joy, and connection.

This conversation explains why emotional shutdown isn’t a mindset issue or a personality flaw, but a survival response rooted in the nervous system. You’ll learn how stress, burnout, and long-term emotional pressure cause the body to disconnect from feeling — and what it actually takes to come back into safety.

You’ll learn:

• Why emotional numbness is a nervous system response, not a failure

• The difference between being calm and being shut down

• How survival mode blocks love, joy, and receiving

• Why forcing positivity doesn’t work

• How to gently begin reconnecting with your emotions

This episode is for anyone who feels disconnected from themselves and wants to feel again — safely.

This episode is for women who are high-functioning, exhausted, and ready to soften without losing themselves.

In this episode, I open up about my personal journey through grief and what it really looked like to find joy again.

Not the fake, “be grateful and push through” kind of joy — but the quiet, grounded joy that comes back when your body finally feels safe.

We talk about why joy doesn’t disappear because you’re ungrateful or doing life wrong, but because your nervous system has been stuck in survival mode for too long. I share how self-reflection, emotional safety, and reconnecting with parts of my childhood helped me remember what joy actually feels like — without chasing it.

This episode is for the woman who knows she should feel happier by now… but doesn’t — and is tired of blaming herself for it.

• You don’t lose joy because of mindset — you lose it because your nervous system is stressed

• Healing starts with safety, not forcing positivity

• Real joy comes back when you stop abandoning yourself

• Joy shows up in small moments, not big life changes

• Healing is a process — not an overnight breakthrough

• Your joy isn’t gone; it’s waiting for reconnection

• You don’t chase joy — you allow it

• You are not broken — you’re healing in your own time
