You’re Not Broken - You’re in Survival Mode

Hello friends,

Have you ever felt like you overthink everything or struggle to say “no” because you’re just “too nice”? In our latest podcast episode — You’re Not Broken, You’re In Survival Mode — I invite you to look deeper at these patterns we often label as “bad habits.”

What if your people pleasing and overthinking are really just old survival scripts from your past? Many of us are living out trauma responses without even realizing it — stuck in a cycle our nervous system has learned to repeat to keep us “safe.”

In this new episode, I break down:

• Why your habits may be survival patterns, not flaws

• How people pleasing and overthinking fit into the trauma response cycle

• How these patterns keep us anxious, exhausted, and disconnected from our true selves

• How to begin breaking the cycle and rediscover your authentic core emotions

This is an important conversation that could change how you see yourself — and help you finally stop carrying what was never yours to hold.
