By Shannon Eastman

Formerly Trauma Informed Growth. Life after Complex-PTSD, and just beyond those first stages of recovery, is a lot like having someone turn the lights on after years navigating in the dark.

July 17, 2025S4 - E22: The Scarcity Code - Part 3
Probably my best iteration yet of how I I found my way out of the dark. I chose to share this information as an article I wrote for my younger self. Recording it and sharing it through audio with an invitation for you to come listen in.

This final episode in this 3 part micro series speaks to how those of us from high stress childhoods, ongoing stress careers, now aged 40sih, can find our way out of the dark.

How the nervous system is so much more than a piece of anatomy, and why #nervoussystemintelligence is so fundamental our quality of life - to everything.

Resources mentioned in this episode include:

A Daily Practice to restore your nervous system to a minimum viable baseline. This is mine to inspire your own version.

July 16, 2025S4-E21: The Scarcity Code - Part 2
In this episode, this audio explores how nervous system adaptations silently shape the way we price, earn, and show up in business. From freezing at bigger ticket opportunities to collapsing under visibility, this recorded audio for my younger self, unpacks how survival logic—not strategy—often drives our decisions. We trace the five-layer Scarcity Code loop and reveal what shifts when pricing, receiving, and success stop being trauma responses and start showing up from places we've made whole.

July 16, 2025S4-E20: The Scarcity Code - Part 1
In a Who Turned The Lights On first, I invite you to listen to a reading I recorded for my younger self, and perhaps for yours, too. This is Part 1 of a short series called The Scarcity Code, exploring how survival, money, and self-limitation are shaped by the nervous system from a time long, long ago.

If you've ever felt stuck in patterns of under-earning, overgiving, or financial fear — even after years of strategy, effort, or mindset work — this may offer a different lens with which to explore the code that was added, that we can now choose to keep as is, or replace it with something new.

July 12, 2025S4-E19: Distinctions, Insights & Context, As You Find Your Way Out Of The Dark
The final episode in an 8-part micro series exploring the 70 page book - Successful Outside, Struggling Inside. This final episode summarises the last 7 episodes, before we get stuck into some very helpful distinctions, insights & context as you find your own way out of the dark. I include some more lived experience to bring these ideas to life, and ultimately, give you a clear map and suggestions on how and where to start, or continue along your own path to the exit from whatever this chapter gets called.

The point being - there is an exit. We know where it is. We know how to get there.

July 05, 2025S4-E18: NeuroCity & BioCity is why micro moments, 3x daily for 12 weeks is so effective.
While we don't really need to understand Neuroplasticity or Bioplasticity to recover, it is very helpful to undestand its role. Maybe understanding a bit about this, will make the path out of the dark a bit easier.

Episode 18, is part 7 of our mini series exploring Successful Outside, Struggling Inside - a wee book of 70 pages that is my first attempt at articulating how I found my way out of the dark, and transformed my life more in 2 years than the prior 25.

Neuro(pasti)City - rewires the brain ... but why, and what is it rewiring, and where did those original wires come from?

Bioplasticity is repair at a cellular level - making repair available when we stop overriding our body, and start partnering with our nervous system. <-- that nervous system has its own intelligence, that would utterly transform your experience of life.

This episode does a quick tour of the last 6 episodes, touches briefly on both cities, and brings in some lived experience and an interesting lens on inner conflict, outer environment.

July 05, 2025S4-E17: Rabbits & Turtles to Help Us Stop Overriding The Body
The area I ignored most, that likely added at least a year or more to my recovery. This is part 6 of our mini series exploring the wee book: Successful Outside, Struggling Inside. Page 45-48 in that free 70 page PDF, examines pace & progress.

We start by putting a few key distinctions on the table, and then examine pace for both your thinking self, and separately for your nervous system.

We look at how you, hijack you. Specifically the 3 most common markers where flares up happen.

The pace of self regulation being long before you become dysregulated.

The cost of moving thigns faster than they are meant to move.

And what the ideal outcome looks like here: a full functioning collaboration, co-founder status between your thinking self, and your nervous system. We also spend a bit of time on what that model of communication looks like.

July 05, 2025S4-E16: Supporting Your Nervous System To Make T.H.E. C.L.I.M.B.
This is episode 16, also known as part 5 of our mini series on Successful Outside Struggling Inside. We explore all 8 bio-items that are the building blocks for optimum nervous system health. Those 8 bio items are captured as an acronym: T.H.E. C.L.I.M.B. Each of these 8 will be applied differently pending which run of the nervous system ladder your baseline currently is.

We take a brief tour in and around each 1 and I make sure to add lived experience as we go, to ensure these feel as accessible as possible, for you to take away and work with right after the episode.

The 8 bio-items?

Thoughts

Habitat

Emotion

Community

Log-off and Sleep

Intake & Digestion

Movement

Body-Mind Flow

July 05, 2025S4-E15: Changing That 5yr old Wiring, Hijacking Your Current Reality
Episode 15 is also part 4 in this mini series, exploring the 70 pg wee book - Successful Outside, Struggling Inside. This episode recaps the prior 3 episodes, before taking a deep dive into The Rulebook installed in childhood, reinforced into adult years, that hijacks your current reality as it creates all sorts of shenanigans while it is left unchecked.

Quite literally, it is like having your 5 year old self make decisions for your 40ish year old self today.

We take a close look at what the Rulebook is, where it comes from, what it does, and a few ways (out of countless ways) to change it. I used lived experience, and real life examples from my life to bring the rulebook to life, and illustrate how it operates, and more importantly, how it changes.

This episode is for my younger self, circa 2013, the woman whose life would demonstrate more than her fair share of dumpster fires across business, personal, financial, and physical.

July 04, 2025S4-E14: Perception? Nah its projection!
Episode 14 coincides with a lived experience from this very morning that is used to shape, direct and explain this section of that wee book titled: Successful Outside, Struggling Inside, page 27-35

You can get the pdf in your inbox by going to this page, leaving your email, before hitting submit. Should land within a few minutes. www.nervoussystemeconomy.com/nsi-book

This episode examines perception as projection.

We look at two nervous system states and explore how different their respective perception is.

We cover how the nervous system uses long forgotten past experiences to shape the vibe of today's reality. We look at implicit memory, what it is, where it comes from, and why it matters that we consistently make the implicit sensations in the body, (so non verbal), explicit (detailed out verbally).

We touch briefly on blame, how we can make a wee mess of our life, when our nervous system is permitted to project past expectations on today's reality, the role of professionals, how, when, to engage, and why.

This episode is for anyone who is stuck inside a groundhog day moment... again.

Get instant access to the wee book here: Successful Outside, Struggling Inside >

We are back with the 2nd of our mini series discussing the wee book - Successful Outside, Struggling Inside, pages 16-25. This episode focuses exlusively on the nervous system, tabling distinctions between dysregulated and depleted, nervous sytem states as our baseline vs the places our nervous system moves in and through, before taking a much closer look at each of the 4 states, and why state specifc recovery matters. For example, if you're stuck in survival mode - the red zone, and trying to help yourself with tools and resources from the peak performance or thriving zones, (blue & green) - it's not going to work.

Understanding where you are on the nervous system ladder will give you a higher probability of success finding your way out, as you engage the tools, timing and pace that your nervous system state benefits from most. Who knew?

I mention the Daily Practice in this episode. Get a copy of my practice - How to care that stringy piece of anatomy called your nervous system, here >
