But it wasn't smooth sailing for Harri to go from living in survival mode to advocate and change-maker. In his new book Transform Your Pain Into Purpose, he gives you the guide he wish he had for handling trauma. He and Abbie discuss burnout, the double-edged sword of social media in advocacy, his 'second chance' at fatherhood, and why you don't need to do anything public with your trauma.LINKSBuy Harri's book Transform Your Pain Into Purpose: https://www.simonandschuster.com.au/books/Transform-Your-Pain-into-Purpose/Harrison-James/9781923293892Listen to Bella Johnston's episodes: PART 1, PART 2See Abbie on tour this July!! https://linktr.ee/abbiechatfieldlovesmenCheck out @itsalotpod on IG at https://bit.ly/itsalot-instagram .Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts https://bit.ly/ial-reviewCREDITS Host: Abbie Chatfield @abbiechatfield Guest: Harrison James @itsharrijamesExecutive Producer and Editor: Amy Kimball @amy.kimballIt's A Lot Social Media Manager: Julia ToomeySocial Media and Marketing Strategist: Elizabeth Baxter Hosted on Acast.

What happens when the part of you that's been running your life refuses to let go? In this deeply personal solo episode, I share my third Bufo experience, the powerful ego death that unfolded, and the surprising realization that I had been resisting this medicine for nearly three years because I was afraid of my own power. We explore survival mode, heart-mind coherence, intuition, Kundalini energy, spiritual evolution, and the profound difference between living from fear versus living from alignment. This conversation isn't about promoting medicine—it's about sharing a personal experience and the insights that emerged from it. If you've ever felt disconnected from yourself, stuck in survival mode, or sensed that a more authentic version of you is trying to emerge, this episode may resonate deeply. ⏰ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Episode Preview 00:43 Why I Felt Called Back to Bufo After 3 Years 03:13 "I'm Scared of How Powerful I Could Be" 07:42 The Heart-Mind Disconnection That Changed Everything 11:20 My Intense Ego Death Experience 13:03 What Happens to the Brain During Bufo 16:29 Survival Mode vs Soul Alignment 20:03 The Massive Emotional & Energetic Release 23:21 Kundalini Activation & Reclaiming My Power 25:57 Why My Relationship with Western Astrology Is Changing 27:52 Final Reflections & Integration

Have you ever lain awake at 3am, heart racing, mind running through a list of worries you cannot seem to turn off? Or maybe it is the opposite — you move through your days flat, numb, going through the motions of a life that looks perfectly fine from the outside while feeling strangely absent from it on the inside.Both of those states have a name. And neither of them is a personal failing.In this solo episode, Gabriela shares one of the most foundational concepts in nervous system work — the window of tolerance — and explains why understanding it as a map of your biology rather than just your emotions changes everything. Drawing on her recent immersion at the Omega Institute with nervous system educator Jessica McGuire, and weaving in her own deeply personal story of survival mode, perimenopause, and coming home to herself, Gabriela walks you through what dysregulation actually looks like in midlife, why it so often gets mistaken for a character flaw, and two simple practices to begin returning to your window right now.This is not just an episode to listen to. It is one to feel.Highlights from our discussion includeWhat the window of tolerance is and why it is a map of your biology, not just your emotionsWhat hyperarousal looks like in midlife women — including the version that looks like overachieving and perfectionism What hypoarousal looks like — the flat, numb, going-through-the-motions version so many women recognize  Why stress followed by genuine recovery builds resilience, and why overriding your own limits destroys itHow adverse childhood experiences connect to a more difficult perimenopause transition Two guided practices — exteroception and containment — to return to regulation right now Why regulation is not a wellness trend but the foundation of sleep, desire, digestion, and connection The window of tolerance is not about becoming someone who never gets dysregulated. It is about building the capacity to return — more quickly, more gently, more reliably — to the place where life can actually be lived. If you heard your own story somewhere in this episode, your nervous system is not broken. It is doing what it learned to do, sometimes a long time ago, in a body that is now changing. That is not a flaw. That is information. And information is where we begin. If you're seeking to reclaim your pleasure and vitality, join Gabriella at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.pleasureinthepause.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for this enlightening journey into the heart of female pleasure and empowerment.Links Mentioned: The Nervous System Reset by Jessica McGuire WebsiteEp 75Ep 106 Cynthia ThurlowDr. Dan Siegel WebsiteCONNECT WITH GABRIELLA ESPINOSA:InstagramLinkedInWork with Gabriella! Full episodes on YouTube.The information shared on Pleasure in the Pause is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

Your doctor probably didn't have answers to these questions. And that's not a slight. It's just the truth.This week I went straight to my Facebook community and asked for their real questions. What came back wasn't a list of random health curiosities. It was a snapshot of exactly what women are carrying right now. Thyroid confusion. Autoimmune diagnoses with zero real explanations. Environmental exposures nobody's investigating. Hereditary labels being used to shut the conversation down. Postsurgical symptoms written off as aging. And one woman doing the work one change at a time, just wanting to know if she's on the right track.She is. And so are you.I answered every single one of these questions. Because these are the root cause questions. The why questions. The ones worth asking.Inside this episode, we cover:Why your thyroid dose keeps going up every six months, and what it's actually signalingHow mold and environmental toxins drive chronic illness in ways the standard of care doesn't test forWhat I truly believe causes lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and autoimmunity, and what actually helps people function betterWhy "hereditary" gets used as a conversation ender too quickly, and what to ask insteadHow to implement changes from the book without overwhelming your systemWhat surgical menopause does to your hormones, and why what you're experiencing is not just agingThe liver scarring question: what's actually possible, and what deserves honestyIf you've been handed a diagnosis with no explanation. If you've been told something is genetic, incurable, or inevitable. If you've been quietly asking "is there something more?" This episode is your answer.Yes. There is something more.Share this episode with one woman who's been told to just accept it. She deserves better than that.Your next steps are below:✨ Free Guide: 9 Hidden Signs Your Metabolism Is Stuck in Survival Mode www.drkaceywallace.com/hiddenmetabolicmess✨ Adrenal Optimization Test (see your cortisol rhythm + DHEA clearly) www.drkaceywallace.com/innercalm✨ Resiliency Reboot Program www.drkaceywallace.com/resiliencyreboot✨ Get the book: You Are Not Fine www.youarenotfine.comSupport the show

The title is straight forward and exactly what this episode is for- Exiting survival mode and curing anhedonia/hopelessness. Merch: 

What if your chronic stress, emotional triggers, anxiety, or exhaustion are not a mindset problem, but signs that your nervous system has learned protective survival patterns? In this episode of Trauma Rewired, Elisabeth Kristof and Jennifer Wallace explore the science of nervous system regulation and unpack a common phrase in trauma spaces: "trauma lives in the body."  While the body plays a central role, they discuss how trauma may be more accurately understood as patterns of brain-body communication, interpretation, prediction, and response shaped through experience. Through the lens of predictive processing and applied neuroscience, they explore how the nervous system uses past experiences to anticipate safety and threat, influencing emotions, behaviors, and physical symptoms in the present.  Together they break down the autonomic nervous system, fight and flight responses, interoception, chronic stress, and why nervous system healing is not about forcing calm or chasing a quick reset. Instead, recovery happens through small, consistent practices that help create greater flexibility, resilience, and new experiences of safety over time. Timestamps 00:00 – Triggers and the Nervous System 02:15 – The Nervous System as the Body's Operating System 05:35 – Autonomic Nervous System and Stress Responses 08:30 – Sympathetic vs. Parasympathetic States 12:05 – Nervous System States and Emotional Patterns 16:50 – Triggers as Nervous System Reset Opportunities 18:05 – The Stress Response and Survival Mode 23:25 – Trauma and Nervous System Dysregulation 28:40 – Chronic and Complex Trauma Effects 36:10 – Emotional Processing for Nervous System Healing Topics discussed in this episode: How to restore the nervous system after chronic stress and trauma How nervous system regulation improves emotional resilience and physical health How the autonomic nervous system works (sympathetic vs. parasympathetic explained) How trauma imprints on the nervous system and keeps you in survival mode How to use nervous system healing practices like breathwork, movement, and interoception How to exit fight or flight safely when the danger has passed How nervous system reset supports emotional processing and better decision-making How to use interoception to sense, interpret, and respond to internal body signals How to regulate the nervous system daily with small, consistent practices How dysregulation impacts health and the steps to build lasting nervous system resilience

What does it really take to move from survival mode into a life of confidence, purpose, and personal ownership? In this episode of Daily Influence, Gregg-Brooke Koleno sits down with Arti Agarwal, full-time Product Manager at Accenture and founder of Empowering Minds, Transforming Souls. Arti shares her deeply personal journey from growing up in a traditional Indian middle-class family and losing her father at 17, to becoming a mindset coach helping others overcome scarcity thinking, self-doubt, and victim mentality. Together, they explore how mindset shapes our reality, why many people unknowingly operate from “victim energy,” and practical ways to reclaim ownership of your life. Arti also shares simple but powerful habits—including gratitude, self-talk, discipline, and acceptance—that can help anyone shift toward a more abundant and empowered mindset. If you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or trapped in survival mode, this conversation offers relatable wisdom and actionable insights to help you take your next step forward. In This Episode: • How childhood experiences and financial pressure can create scarcity thinking • Signs you may be operating in “victim energy” without realizing it • Why taking responsibility for your emotions changes everything • The role of gratitude, discipline, and positive self-talk in personal growth • How acceptance becomes the first step toward transformation • Why becoming your own cheerleader matters more than outside validation Memorable Takeaway: “Unless and until we are able to accept totally what is happening with us, we cannot truly change it.” – Arti Agarwal Tune in for a meaningful conversation about mindset, resilience, emotional responsibility, and creating a life aligned with who you truly are.

I am delighted to reconnect with Dr. Nicole LePera today. Trained in clinical psychology, she is a holistic psychologist whose work explores the interconnections among the mind, body, and soul, incorporating holistic lifestyle and psychological wellness practices. She has written multiple New York Times bestselling books, most recently Reparenting the Inner Child. In today's conversation, we unpack what the inner child really means from a clinical perspective. We explore how understanding your childhood wounds intellectually differs from truly re-parenting yourself at the nervous system level, and how perimenopause and menopause influence the way we view the world. We look at ACE scores and the biology of childhood adversity, how ACE scores measure what happened to us, but fail to measure resilience, protective factors, or the capacity for healing. We examine how reactive parents shape our nervous system, and how that shows up as hypervigilance, emotional scanning, and self-erasure, and how the fawn response can lead to chronic people-pleasing, relentless accommodation, and an inability to say no. We also cover how epigenetics and lifestyles influence behavioral patterns, critical parenting, stress addiction, gut-brain dysregulation, and the disruptive effects of vagal tone gadgets. This is truly one of those must-listen conversations! I love Dr. LePera's grounded and practical approach to helping people work through their childhood experiences and advocate for themselves. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How childhood wounds become stored in the nervous system rather than just the mind Why understanding your dysfunctional habits intellectually will not change the emotional patterns that drive them How perimenopause and menopause can magnify unresolved emotional patterns What ACE scores measure and what they fail to capture How reactive parenting can lead to hypervigilance and emotional scanning, even in safe environments Dr. LePera describes the fawn response and explains how children learn to over-accommodate others, suppress their own needs, and avoid conflict. How chronic stress becomes a learned response, and how stress responses can be passed across generations   How chronic stress and a dysregulated nervous system can influence gut function and microbiome balance Why it's essential to return your attention to your body in the present moment to begin healing Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website.

If you're eating well, exercising, taking supplements, and still don't feel like yourself, your nervous system may be stuck in survival mode. Most people assume low energy means they need more discipline, another supplement, or the latest health hack. But what if the real problem isn't effort at all? Studies estimate that over 70% of primary care visits are linked to stress-related disorders. At the same time, mitochondrial dysfunction is increasingly recognized as a contributor to fatigue, poor recovery, and reduced resilience.  In this episode of Uncover Your Eyes, Dr. Meenal Agarwal sits down with Dr. Scott Sherr, a Physician who specializes in health optimization medicine. They explore the connection between chronic stress, nervous system dysregulation, and cellular energy production. Together, they discuss hyperbaric oxygen therapy, methylene blue, and practical strategies to improve recovery and performance.  In this episode, you'll uncover:

Have you ever felt like no matter how much you achieve, you still can't fully relax, feel safe, or slow down? In this episode, I sit down with Koya Webb to talk about nervous system regulation, burnout, emotional healing, and the dangerous belief that success equals safety. Koya shares why so many entrepreneurs stay stuck in survival mode and how slowing down, reconnecting with your body, and practicing self-honesty can completely transform the way you live and lead. We also dive into breathwork, emotional regulation, friendship transitions, and how to recognize when something in your life is no longer aligned.

The meeting focused on personal branding in real estate, led by Autumn Pickering and hosted by Dill Ward. Autumn discussed the importance of defining one's personal brand and asked participants to consider what single thing they would want people to remember about them after a brief interaction. She emphasized that real estate professionals are their own brand and that personal branding begins with the first encounter, whether online or at networking events. Autumn shared her own transformation from a "stuffy suited headshot" to embracing her authentic self, highlighting the importance of intentional self-presentation in business. She introduced an exercise called "Assessing Your Core Values," suggesting participants Google a list of core values, cross out non-resonating words, and highlight values they want to embody in their personal brand.

So many women are exhausted not because they are failing… but because they have been carrying too much for too long. In this episode, we explore the deep connection between nervous system healing and divine feminine healing for the woman who feels like she holds everything together. We talk about how survival mode, over-functioning, people pleasing, chronic responsibility, hyper-independence, and burnout disconnect women from their bodies, intuition, softness, and feminine essence. This conversation is for the woman who: feels stuck in functional freeze or burnout struggles to rest without guilt constantly feels pressure to achieve or perform has become the emotional caretaker for everyone else feels disconnected from joy, pleasure, creativity, or desire is learning how to soften without feeling unsafe In this episode we discuss: how nervous system dysregulation impacts feminine embodiment why so many women live in masculine survival energy the connection between burnout, freeze, and over-responsibility how the body stores emotional labor and chronic pressure what true feminine healing actually looks like learning safety in receiving, resting, and being supported somatic healing and reconnecting to your body shifting from pressure and performance into presence and pleasure This is not about becoming less powerful. It's about no longer carrying your power through tension, hyper-vigilance, and self-abandonment. Healing happens when the body finally feels safe enough to soften. If this episode resonated with you, share it with another woman who has been carrying too much alone.

Somewhere along the way, so many women stopped feeling like their life was actually theirs.Between running a business, raising kids, supporting a partner, caring for aging parents, and carrying the emotional weight of everyone else's needs, it's easy to end up stuck in survival mode — exhausted, overwhelmed, and wondering where you went.In this heartfelt conversation, Lianne Kim sits down with longtime friend and pediatric chiropractor turned Joy Coach, Dr. Ali Miller, to talk about what's really happening beneath the surface for burned-out moms and women entrepreneurs.Drawing from more than two decades of working with moms, Dr. Ali explains how chronic stress impacts the nervous system, why “just take a break” isn't enough, and how tiny moments of connection, movement, and joy can begin to regulate the body and help women reconnect with themselves again.Together, they unpack the identity shifts that happen throughout motherhood, the pressure women feel to constantly give to everyone else, and why reclaiming joy is not selfish — it's essential.This episode is a reminder that you are not failing. You are likely just depleted. And sometimes the path back to yourself starts with five intentional minutes.In this episode, you'll discover:Why so many moms and women entrepreneurs feel stuck in “survival mode”The hidden nervous system impact of constantly caring for everyone elseWhy self-care days often don't work when you're deeply burned outHow motherhood changes your identity in every season — not just when kids leave homeThe connection between nervous system regulation and joySmall, practical “joy resets” that take less than five minutesWhy meaningful friendships and connection matter more than ever in this stage of lifeHow to model joy, boundaries, and self-worth for your childrenWhy reclaiming your joy is one of the most important things you can do for yourself and your familyTimestamps:00:00 – Introducing Dr. Ali Miller and the journey from chiropractor to Joy Coach02:00 – Why motherhood is emotionally and physically exhausting05:00 – The therapist question that changed Ali's perspective forever07:00 – The identity shifts moms experience as children grow09:00 – What it feels like when your life no longer feels like your own10:00 – Why “just take a break” doesn't actually solve burnout11:00 – Understanding the nervous system: survival mode vs. regulation14:00 – How survival mode shows up in your business, body, and relationships17:00 – Why joy becomes inaccessible when your nervous system is overwhelmed18:00 – Simple five-minute nervous system resets anyone can do20:00 – The surprising healing power of friendship and connection24:00 – Reconnecting with old friends and relationships in a new season of life26:00 – Creating your personal “joy list” and rediscovering what lights you up29:00 – What to do when you feel too overwhelmed for even one more thing31:00 – Modeling self-worth and joy for your children34:00 – Why movement and exercise regulate more than just your body35:00 – Inside Dr. Ali's Joy Reset Kit36:00 – Final advice for women stuck in burnout and survival mode38:00 – Where to connect with Dr. Ali MillerLinks mentioned:Joy Reset KitWebsite: https://www.thejoycoach.ca/Instagram: @the_joycoach—‌Connect with me:  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/liannekimcoach  Instagram: @liannekimcoachJoin the Mamas & Co. community to get access to valuable resources and the support of likeminded mompreneurs and mentors: https://www.mamasandco.com Instagram: @mamasandcoPodcasting support:https://theultimatecreative.com 

A child screaming over shoes, melting down after school, or exploding over a tiny disappointment may look defiant from the outside. But in this episode, Dana Kay explains why many ADHD behaviors are not simply "bad behavior," attention-seeking, or manipulation. Often, they are signs of a nervous system under stress. Dana shares one of the biggest mindset shifts she  had as both a practitioner and a parent: behavior is usually the last thing happening in the chain. Underneath the meltdown may be blood sugar crashes, gut inflammation, food sensitivities, poor sleep, mouth breathing, nutrient deficiencies, or chronic inflammation. When those stressors stack, the brain and body can shift into survival mode. In this solo episode, Dana walks parents through the biology beneath ADHD behavior, including why after-school meltdowns are so common, how the gut-brain connection can affect mood and focus, and why stable fuel matters for emotional regulation. Most importantly, she reminds parents that understanding biology does not mean removing boundaries. It means learning to respond with more clarity, compassion, and strategy.

Their body may be fighting to survive. [01:47] Dana sets up one of the biggest mindset shifts she has had as both a practitioner and a parent. [02:10] Behavior is usually the last thing happening in the chain, which means parents need to ask what is happening underneath it. [02:46] Many ADHD kids are carrying a heavy stress load, and when the body is overloaded, behavior can fall apart. [02:54] Dana shares the Costco meltdown story with her son Oliver and how it became a turning point in how she viewed his reactions. [04:47] When a child's nervous system is overloaded, the brain can shift into survival mode quickly. [06:49] Signs like hunger meltdowns, after-school crashes, tiny disappointments feeling huge, and fast mood shifts are not random. [07:01] After-school meltdowns are often a clue that a child has been masking and holding everything together all day. [08:44] Dana explains that ADHD symptoms often have stacked stressors underneath them, including blood sugar crashes, gut inflammation, food sensitivities, mouth breathing, nutrient deficiencies, and chronic inflammation. [10:06] Stable fuel matters because the brain cannot regulate properly when blood sugar is crashing. [10:13] Dana explains why the gut-brain connection is one of the biggest light bulb moments in understanding ADHD symptoms. [11:57] Understanding biology does not mean removing boundaries. It changes how parents interpret and respond to behavior. [12:43] Dana encourages parents to start simple by looking for patterns instead of reacting immediately. [15:05] Dana closes with the reminder that a child is not broken. Their behavior is communication. MEMORABLE MOMENTS "Their body may be fighting to survive." "But behavior is usually the last thing happening in the chain." "And when the body is overloaded, behavior goes out the window." "His reactions, they weren't random, you know, and that realization changed everything." "Those aren't random." "Home is the place, their body, their nervous system finally feels safe enough to unravel." "If the brain does not have stable fuel, it can't regulate properly." "Just because symptoms are showing up behaviorally doesn't mean the root issue is purely behavioral." DANA KAY RESOURCES

Covid hit.She lost her job.Bills kept coming.And unemployment checks never showed up.So she did what a lot of people talk about…But never actually do.She started a business.In this episode with Tereasa Janese, owner of Diva Girlz Cleaning Service, we talk about building a business as a single mom during one of the hardest seasons of her life.No investors.No perfect timing.Just survival mode and figuring it out day by day.In this episode you will learn:• How she started with almost no money• The reality of hiring people you can trust• Why social media changed everything for her business• The hard lessons she learned about pricing clients• What it looks like to build while raising kids at the same timeThis is a real conversation about pressure, resilience, and building something when failure is not really an option.

Many people are functioning in life while emotionally stuck in survival mode. Trauma is not always one major event — it can come from chronic stress, emotional neglect, abandonment, betrayal, or constantly feeling unsafe. Over time, the nervous system adapts through fight, flight, freeze, or fawn responses, which can later affect relationships, emotions, identity, and physical health.This podcast explores how trauma impacts the brain and body, why high-functioning individuals may still be emotionally exhausted, and how healing requires more than “moving on.” True healing happens through safety, awareness, emotional regulation, healthy connection, and nervous system restoration.At Sozo for Life, we believe healing is possible and that survival mode does not have to become a person's identity.

In this energizing discussion, Sharmon Lebby, founder and CEO of Blessed Designs Consulting, explains why nonprofit leaders must build systems, strategy, and internal alignment before major funding arrives.Many nonprofit organizations operate in survival mode—focused on securing the next grant, donation, or hire—without fully preparing for what sustainable growth actually requires. Sharmon challenges leaders to rethink budgeting, board development, volunteer management, and organizational planning from a long-term operational perspective.“You're not planning for success,” Sharmon explains during the conversation, encouraging nonprofits to think beyond immediate fundraising goals and define what meaningful impact truly looks like.The discussion explores how operational breakdowns often begin internally through unclear systems, rushed onboarding, weak infrastructure, and reactive leadership. Sharmon introduces three core areas nonprofits should continuously strengthen: strategy, systems, and storytelling—including internal storytelling that shapes organizational culture and alignment.The episode also dives into:Why budgeting should function as a strategic compassCreating “dream budgets” before funding existsBuilding board alignment around values and skill gapsPlanning founder transitions and organizational successionShifting from scarcity thinking to intentional impact planningCollaborating with peer nonprofits instead of competing for every dollarOne of the most powerful moments comes when Sharmon reframes the nonprofit relationship with money itself: “Money's not really what you want.”  00:00:00 Why More Money Can Create New Problems 00:02:22 The “Collapsing Table” Infrastructure Analogy 00:04:15 Burnout and Operational Cracks During Growth 00:06:00 Why Nonprofits Don't Plan for Success 00:07:34 Building Systems Before Funding Arrives 00:09:31 Strategy, Systems, and Storytelling Framework 00:11:08 Budgeting as a Strategic Growth Tool 00:13:18 Building Boards Around Values and Skills 00:16:27 Why Nonprofits Are Built in Survival Mode 00:19:14 Redefining the Nonprofit Relationship With Money 00:21:29 Planning From the End Goal Backward 00:22:50 Collaboration Instead of Competition #TheNonprofitShow #NonprofitOperations #NonprofitManagementFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us  Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits!  12:30pm ET   11:30am CT  10:30am MT  9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

EP:193 The Fastest Way to Regulate Your Nervous System What if the key to feeling calm, grounded, and emotionally present isn't about fixing, controlling, or constantly “doing more”? In this episode of Thrive Like a Parent, Dr. Brooke Weinstein shares a powerful shift that can completely transform the way you respond to stress. So many of us believe that staying in control is the fastest way to feel safe — but in reality, those patterns can keep our nervous systems stuck in survival mode. Instead, Dr. Brooke dives into what it really means to build a larger “window of tolerance” so you can navigate life's chaos with more calm, connection, and resilience. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, emotionally reactive, exhausted, or constantly on edge, this episode will help you understand: ✨ Why control and over-functioning can increase stress ✨ How chronic stress impacts your nervous system ✨ The hidden coping mechanisms keeping you stuck ✨ What it means to expand your window of tolerance ✨ Practical ways to feel more regulated, present, and peaceful Through her work inside the Thrive programs, Dr. Brooke has seen firsthand how nervous system regulation can change relationships, parenting, emotional health, and overall well-being. When we learn to work with our nervous system instead of against it, everything begins to shift. This episode is your reminder that peace is possible — and you don't have to keep living in survival mode.

Dr. Allen Lycka is acknowledged as one of the leading cosmetic dermatologists globally for three decades. In 2003, Dr. Lycka was misdiagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease), and, after additional research, discovered he had Chronic Lyme Disease.

This episode centered around a simple but uncomfortable reality: a lot of families are moving fast, staying busy, and still feeling disconnected. Pastor Q breaks down how survival mode slowly becomes normal when the pace of life starts setting the pace of the family.

Can nice girls win?You know her as one of the most iconic players in Survivor history, but Parvati Shallow's memoir, Nice Girls Don't Win, reveals the story behind the strategy. My friend, Diliana, joins me as we dive deep into Parvati's remarkable journey from growing up in a cult-like commune called The Ranch, to winning Survivor twice, to finally doing the hardest thing of all: healing.We explore the four Fs — fight, flight, freeze, and fawn — and how Parvati spent most of her life cycling through them without realizing it. We talk about the performance of being "the good girl," what it costs women to be likable, and why the villain edit she carried for years says so much more about our culture than it does about her.And along the way, we get personal about growing up in survival mode, about not wanting to be a burden, about the belief systems we inherit from the people who raised us, and the long, non-linear work of unlearning them.This one is for anyone who has ever shrunk themselves to be loved, wondered why they can't just get over it, or needed a reminder that the mess and the healing are both part of the win.Purchase Nice Girls Don't Win by Parvati ShallowOther books mentioned:Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving by Pete WalkerThe Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der KolkExistential Kink by Carolyn ElliottThank you for supporting the show!Xx, Alex Hosted on Acast.

If you've ever been told your labs are normal while your body feels like it's falling apart. This episode is for you.Because autoimmune disease rarely starts at the diagnosis. It starts years earlier. In the gray zone. Where you're symptomatic enough to suffer but not sick enough to qualify. Where the system keeps telling you to wait and see while your body keeps getting louder.Today I'm talking about what I call autoimmunity before the autoimmunity. That phase where immune dysregulation is already running the show, but no one has given it a name yet. I'm walking you through why the referral cycle fails women in this phase, what pre-autoimmune patterns actually look like in real life, and why inflammation is never the root cause. It's the dashboard light.I'm also sharing the story of a patient I call Mandy. She did everything right. She went to every appointment. She waited through every referral. And every time, she left with some version of "you're fine." She wasn't fine. And once we stopped waiting for a diagnosis to give her permission to heal, everything changed.Inside this episode, we cover:Why the diagnosis lag is not prevention. It's delayed action.What the gray zone actually looks like in your body.Why the referral cycle is designed to rule out disease, not restore function.The internal stressors driving immune activation that no one is talking about.The three buckets: Reset, Repair, Rebuild, and why sequence matters.Why chasing inflammation keeps you stuck in the supplement cycle.If you've been bounced between specialists with no answers. If your imaging came back normal but your body didn't feel that way. If you've started wondering whether you're just being dramatic. You're not. Your physiology is loud, and it's been trying to tell you something.Share this episode with one woman who's been told she's fine when she knows she's not.

On this episode of Your Mental Health Matters, we take a deep and honest look at the cost of being everything for everyone. So many people carry the pressure of always showing up, always being strong, and always holding things together—but at what cost? This conversation unpacks what survival mode really looks like and how constantly pouring into others without rest can take a serious toll. Our panel discusses the signs of a nervous system on overload, including emotional exhaustion, irritability, anxiety, and physical fatigue. We also explore how chronic stress impacts the body, affecting sleep, focus, mood, and overall health. Beyond the physical effects, this episode highlights the emotional weight of always being “the strong one”—and why it's important to create space for vulnerability, boundaries, and healing. If you've ever felt stretched too thin or overwhelmed by responsibility, this conversation is a reminder that your well-being matters too. #YourMentalHealthMatters #SurvivalMode #ChronicStress #MentalHealthAwareness #EmotionalWellness #SetBoundaries #SelfCare #HealingJourney

Most of us are walking around in a low-grade state of fight-or-flight all the time, and we don't even realize it. It looks like the tight jaw in the morning, the exhaustion that doesn't lead to sleep, or the feeling of being on edge even on a good day.  These are signs of a nervous system that never got the signal that it's safe to come down. In this episode, I'm sharing a lesson from my new free video course called Everything is Terrible: An Anxiety Toolkit for the Age of Doomscrolling. It's a five-lesson toolkit for people who care deeply about the world and are quietly exhausted by the weight of it. Each lesson is a standalone tool you can use when you need it. This episode shares an excerpt from one of these lessons, covering: -What's actually happening in your body when you're stuck in fight-or-flight -How to manually activate your parasympathetic nervous system even when the external world is still chaotic -Two specific breathing techniques you can use anywhere to send your body the "all clear" signal -Grounding phrases for when your body has settled but your brain is still spinning.

Hey, Survivor! After years of hypervigilance, stress, trauma, and emotional survival, what happens when the crisis finally ends? In this episode, I'm talking about the physical and emotional “crash” many trauma survivors experience after prolonged periods of stress—including nausea, shaking, exhaustion, emotional numbness, brain fog, and nervous system dysregulation. Following the end of the murder trial I've spoken about on this journey, I share what it felt like when my body finally began to come down from years of anticipation and survival mode.  It's similar to what you'd experience after narcissistic abuse, divorce, toxic relationships, and other traumatic situations. If you've ever felt strange, exhausted, or emotionally overwhelmed after finally closing a toxic or traumatic chapter, this episode is for you.

Hey friend,  Have you been living in survival mode for so long that it feels normal? Do you sometimes wish life felt lighter — but feel guilty for wanting that? Could wanting more than survival actually be a healthy signal from your nervous system? I'm Ashley — a mom living with chronic illness in a neurodivergent family. If you're dealing with constant fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, and broken sleep while trying to keep up with your kids, you're not alone. Chronic Illness Moms is a podcast for moms with chronic illness or chronic symptoms who want stress relief, better sleep, and simple, realistic habits that actually work inside a full, demanding life. Many caregiving moms spend long seasons in survival mode while supporting their children. But survival mode was never meant to be permanent. In this episode I unpack why it happens, why the desire to feel better is a healthy signal (not selfish), and the simple permission practice that helps you start trusting that desire instead of fighting it.

If you've been walking on eggshells, feeling resentful, stress eating, or struggling to prioritize your health, this conversation will help you detach from chaos and come back to YOU. Learn how tiny daily promises, movement, prayer, hydration, and real food can help you rebuild peace, confidence, and alignment from the inside out.

In episode 328 of the get unstuck podcast, we break down what it really means to live in survival mode. How it shows up in your daily life through over eating, overthinking, people, pleasing, emotional, reactivity, and constant exhaustion. If you've been feeling mentally overloaded, stuck in stress cycles, or like you can't fully relax, even when nothing is wrong, this episode will help you understand why. It's not about lack of discipline… It's about a regulated nervous system. We talk about the shift the moment you learn to interrupt the spiral, regulate your body, and return to yourself instead of abandoning yourself and stress, emotion, or chaos. This is your reminder that you don't need to fix everything around you to feel better… You need to come back to you. Listen now and start breaking the survival cycle. GlitterU.com.
