Podcasts about Survival mode

Your mind says you're safe, but your body still feels tense, overwhelmed, and stuck in danger mode. Why does this happen? In this mini episode, Dr. Aimie goes into the biology behind why mental and emotional healing doesn't always translate into physical healing. You'll learn how trauma gets “stuck” in your nervous system, why your body can keep sending danger signals even when your mind feels better, and practical ways to help your body feel safe enough to recover. Your nervous system works like a dashboard, constantly checking if you can handle what's happening or need to shut down. When it stays stuck in survival mode, even after therapy, it can cause chronic pain, fatigue, and other symptoms. The good news is, you can help your body feel safe again and start to heal. In this episode, you'll find out more about: The difference between stress vs. trauma (and why it's not about the event itself!) Why your body creates a personal safety filter based on past experiences How inflammation, toxins, and hidden stressors send danger signals to your nervous system Why your body's natural healing shuts down when you're in survival mode Simple ways to track and shift your nervous system state every day Whether you're doing your own healing or supporting clients who still feel stuck physically despite mental progress, this episode reveals the missing piece of trauma recovery. You'll gain a clearer understanding of the body's signals and walk away with practical tools to help the body catch up with the mind.

I'm just days away from entering the newborn phase with my fifth baby, and as we prepare for all the unknowns ahead, I've been reflecting on the lessons that have carried me through over the last 12 years of motherhood. In this episode, I'm sharing five truths I'm reminding myself of right now. Truths I've leaned on through moves, healths challenges, grief, and growing a family. If you're in a hard season too, I hope these offer you the same lifeline they've offered me. I talk about: The mindset shifts that completely changed how I experience hard days One powerful question that helped me stop spiraling and start healing What I now expect when everything feels like it's falling apart A moment that proved I'm never walking through this alone The hardest truth to accept, but the one that's brought the most growth You don't have to wait for life to calm down to feel better. There are simple things that can help right now! You're not alone. And even in the middle of hard, there's still so good ahead.

In this episode, we explore what it means to be stuck in survival mode—mentally, emotionally, and physically—and how many of us are living from a place of fear, habit, and urgency without realizing it. Survival mode can look like over-functioning, people-pleasing, emotional shutdown, or just constantly pushing through. It's often the result of trauma, chronic stress, or a childhood where it wasn't safe to slow down or have needs. But while survival mode may have helped you get through hard times, it's not meant to be a permanent way of life. We also talk about the path forward—how to reconnect with your body,  calm your regulate your nervous system, and start living in alignment with who you really are. Reclaiming your power doesn't require a life overhaul. It starts with small acts of self-ownership, and choosing from who you are—not just who you've had to be. If you're ready to move beyond coping and step into grounded, empowered living, this episode will give you tools, language, and encouragement to begin.   3 Key Takeaways: 1.   The way you've been functioning might be more about surviving than truly living. 2.   There's a powerful shift that happens when you start making choices from a different place. 3.   Sometimes the smallest moments—how you breathe, how you pause, how you check in—can change everything.   Survival mode helped you get through. But you weren't meant to live there  forever.      Get your FREE Boundaries Ebook here!

It is the bravest thing you'll ever do.You deserve joy that isn't borrowed. Peace that isn't temporary. Love that doesn't come with conditions. You deserve to feel safe. So start small. Breathe. Rest. Reflect. Speak your truth. Ask for help. Set boundaries. Let go. Let God.

If you're eating clean, working out, and still not losing weight… your gut might be the missing piece.  In today's episode, I'm breaking down 10 reasons why gut health directly impacts your metabolism, hormones, and ability to lose fat and why testing with a GI MAP could be the game-changer you've been missing. We'll talk about how certain gut infections like H. pylori or parasites keep your body in survival mode, signaling it to hold on to fat. You'll learn how your gut bacteria influence your cravings, blood sugar, and even your metabolism through short-chain fatty acids like butyrate.  I'll explain why hidden gut inflammation can block fat loss and how slow digestion (aka not pooping daily) recirculates estrogen and toxins, stalling your progress. We'll also dive into how bad bacteria can steal essential nutrients you need for fat-burning, how gut health affects your thyroid function, and why your gut impacts not just your body, but your brain chemistry and motivation too.  Plus, I'll explain why detoxing estrogen properly is key to shedding stubborn fat and how even the “perfect” diet won't work if your gut can't break down food and eliminate waste. This episode will help you see why your gut is the foundation of sustainable weight loss and why it's not just about willpower or cutting calories.  If you're feeling stuck, testing your gut might be the missing link to get your body working with you again. Time Stamps: (2:52) Talking Gut Health (6:02) #1: You Can't Lose Weight in Survival Mode (8:22) #2: Your Gut Bugs Influence Your Cravings (13:08) #3: Gut Bacteria Talk to Your Metabolism (14:52) #4: Hidden inflammation = Blocked Fat Loss (17:12) #5: If You're Not Pooping Daily, Weight Loss Will Stall (19:47) #6: “Bad bugs” Steal Your Nutrients (21:32) #7: Your Gut Affects Your Thyroid (24:20) #8: Gut Health = Brain Chemistry = Motivation (27:22) #9: Detox Matters Especially For Estrogen (29:52) #10: Your Gut Makes or Breaks Your Ability to Respond to Nutrition---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Many people get stuck on their healing journey. They feel lost and confused. They've spent years in therapy, tried meditation, read all the books but still feel like they're just surviving instead of truly living. This is way more common than we would like to believe, and quite discouraging for those dealing with stress, burnout, or old emotional wounds. Even when you know you're safe, your body might still feel like it's in danger.  That's because healing isn't just about mindset, it's about your nervous system. And most healing methods skip the steps your body actually needs to feel safe at the nervous system level. In this episode, Dr. Aimie explains why one often gets stuck and what the nervous system really needs to move from overwhelm and a functional freeze into calm aliveness. You'll learn how the body experiences a trauma, why it holds on even for years after, and the step-by-step roadmap to give it what it needs to engage its own healing mechanisms. You'll learn more on: [1:46] Why many people avoid connecting with their body and stay “in their head” [4:05] How to tell if you're disconnected from your body [5:48] What happens in your body during a trauma response (and how it can get stuck) [8:48] Why just telling yourself “you're safe” doesn't make your body believe it [12:49] The hidden equation your nervous system uses to decide if you're still in danger [15:49] The surprising trait that can block healing   [18:16] Common signs you're in shutdown mode [21:51] The 3 major roadblocks that can slow down healing [22:52] Why you need cycles of stress and rest to heal [27:36] The 3-phase healing roadmap [29:32] How emotional healing works just like physical healing—and why skipping steps keeps you stuck Whether you're working on your own healing or helping others, this episode gives you the missing piece to understand what's really going on in the body and how to finally move forward.   Helpful Links Related To This Episode: Steps to Identify and Heal Trauma - A Roadmap for Healing - Find out what trauma is, how to recognize it, and get simple steps to help you heal in this 23-page guide.

Hello Ladies,In this episode, we're diving into how living in survival mode can rob us of becoming the best version of ourselves.

Not just tired soul tired.In this episode, I'm sharing the honest truth about how I stopped leading from panic… and started leading from peace. It wasn't a planner.

Welcome back, Neurodivergent Creative! In this episode, Caitlin gets super real about the struggle many of us face: trying to nurture our creative spirit when life throws us into "survival mode." From rampant inflation to stagnant wages, it's easy for your creative outlets to take a backseat. But maintaining a connection to your creativity is vital, even when life itself gets really tough to manage.

How to Break the Cycle of Creating in Survival Mode into Creator Mode.   I see too often women operating in survival mode to build their businesses and lives…   "What can I do? How do I make this work? I need to get clients ASAP bc I have bills to pay."   They're left feeling defeated and in despair, just wanting to do the work they love and build a soul-satisfying business and life they deserve to live.   But they can't seem to get out of the beginning stages, or the survival frequency of scarcity, lack, desperation, and fear.   What this does is just dig a deeper hole that feels even harder and more desperate to get out of (been there!).   We unconsciously keep creating more experiences TO survive. We then do everything we need to just keep our necks above water.   This is not the recipe for swimming in a luxurious beach, Sisters.   This week on my #podcast, The Real on Manifestation, I take you through 3 easy and thought-provoking steps to start shifting out of creating in survival mode into Creator Mode.   Where you can then start building and experiencing life with as many 'me-days' off as you'd like, book multiple family trips, take a day off when your kids are sick without reverting to panic mode, "I have to get back to work" mode, "how can I make this money/outcome again" mode.   Start truly feeling your power, Start truly living life, Start truly building a freedom-filled business From a sustainable and soul-satisfying mode.   Enjoy and listen!   If you're ready to experience a full body manifestation, jump into my new group program,

Send us a textTraumatic experiences shape us in profound ways, often gifting us with remarkable strengths that help us survive—but what happens when those same strengths become barriers to our healing?This captivating panel discussion features Paige and Joe, two individuals who've faced devastating traumas yet found ways to transform their adaptive traits from potential liabilities back into personal assets. Their stories offer a masterclass in self-awareness and emotional growth.Joe, paralyzed after a military service injury in 2007, shares how his unwavering positivity and resilience helped him adapt to life in a wheelchair. While these traits enabled him to build a beautiful family with three children, they also created what he calls a "hardened shell" that limited his emotional range. "I started seeing life in black, white, and gray," he reveals, explaining his recent journey to experience "more color" by finally allowing himself to process long-suppressed grief.Paige, who lost her father to suicide at age ten and later became a military spouse, identifies as a "survivor." This trait carried her through unimaginable hardships but eventually morphed into a pattern of neglecting her own needs. Through her work as a yoga studio program manager, she's learning to apply the mindfulness practices she teaches to her own healing journey.The conversation takes a powerful turn when discussing parenting, with both guests sharing vulnerable moments where they recognized opportunities for growth. These stories highlight how we can model accountability and self-compassion for our children while healing ourselves.What makes this episode exceptional is its practical wisdom about balancing seemingly contradictory needs: How do we honor our emotions without becoming consumed by them? How do we maintain boundaries while validating feelings? How do we break unhealthy cycles without breaking ourselves?Ready to transform your own character liabilities back into assets?

Do you feel like you're constantly on high alert, waiting for the next shoe to drop? Like your body is braced for impact even when there's no real danger around you? You're exhausted, on edge, and maybe you find yourself reaching for something—anything—to make it stop. A drink, a pill, a behavior that gives you just a moment of peace. If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. And more importantly, you're not broken. DOWNLOAD THE WORKSHEET In this eye-opening episode of The Addicted Mind, host Duane Ostlund reveals the hidden connection between past trauma and present-day addiction. Drawing from groundbreaking research by experts like Dr. Bessel van der Kolk and Dr. Bruce Perry, Duane explains how trauma literally rewires our brains, keeping us stuck in survival mode long after the danger has passed. You'll discover why your brain's alarm system (the amygdala) won't shut off, how chronic stress floods your body with harmful hormones, and why substances become a desperate attempt at self-medication rather than a moral failing. This isn't about willpower—it's about biology. But here's the hope: there's a way out. Duane shares the surprising antidote to this cycle—and it's not what you might expect. Instead of running from uncomfortable feelings, the path to healing involves gently turning inward and learning to embrace your nervous system. Through practical techniques like body scanning and interoception (awareness of your body's internal signals), you can begin to retrain your brain. You'll learn to shift from asking "What's wrong with me?" to "What happened to me?"—a simple question that changes everything. This episode offers both scientific understanding and practical hope for anyone who feels trapped in cycles of addiction, chronic stress, or emotional numbness.
