Podcasts about Survival mode

When life feels overwhelming or you know you're headed into a hard season the last thing on your mind might be a quarterly review. But I've found it's exactly when I need it most.

Instead, I'm sharing: How I reflect on what actually happened (even when the days blur together) How gratitude, small wins, and honest questions help me shift my mindset What it looks like to plan a quarter focused on surrender, presence, and creating simple joy Why your circumstances don't have to define the memories you create If you're in a season where energy is low, the future feels uncertain, or you're holding a lot—this episode is for you. Whether you're using the Thriving in Motherhood Planner or just grabbing a notebook, these simple prompts can help you anchor yourself and your family—even when life feels messy.

If you've ever felt stuck or blamed yourself for not doing enough, this episode offers a fresh perspective that can set you free.   Key Takeaways: You're Not Lazy, You're in Survival Mode: Often, what we perceive as laziness is actually our nervous system's protective mechanism.

She breaks down how unresolved biological stress sends ongoing danger signals to your nervous system, fueling anxiety, overwhelm, and chronic dysregulation. You'll hear more about: Why trauma isn't just stored in your mind but in your mitochondria and DNA How oxidative stress acts like “rust” inside your cells and blocks emotional regulation The link between oxidative damage and PTSD, depression, and chronic illness Why your body needs energy, not willpower, to heal from trauma What actually helps repair oxidative damage and stabilize your nervous system How to use food, supplements, and sleep routines to support deep biological healing Whether you're supporting others on their healing journey or navigating your own, this episode reveals the hidden cellular barriers that can keep the nervous system stuck and offers practical ways to work with the body's biology to create real progress.

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. Whether you're struggling yourself or supporting someone who is, you'll gain valuable insights into the body-mind connection and discover that healing truly is possible.

In this episode of The Healthy Mouth Movement, we get real about something many parents sense but can't quite name: when a child's behavior is actually a reflection of their biology. We talk about how signs like meltdowns, toe walking, chewing on everything, sleep issues, and poor posture might not be “just a phase” or even ADHD—they might be the result of a nervous system stuck in survival mode. We open up about our own parenting missteps and discoveries (hey, no judgment—we've all been there) and share the red flags we wish someone had pointed out earlier. From mouth breathing and tethered oral tissues to overlooked conditions like POTS, PANDAS, and EDS, this episode connects the dots between the mouth, the nervous system, and your child's overall regulation. Key Takeaways:-Behavior is biology. What looks like defiance might be your child's nervous system screaming for help.-The mouth tells a story. Chronic mouth breathing, low tongue posture, and poor sleep are often the first clues.-It's more common than we think. Conditions like POTS and PANDAS are often misdiagnosed or missed entirely.-Small shifts = big impact. We talk about tools like nasal breathing exercises, crunchy foods, craniosacral therapy, and myofunctional work that can help bring your child's body back to safety and balance.-Be the advocate. No one knows your child like you do. If no one is asking the right questions, you can—and should—start doing so. If your child struggles with focus, emotions, sleep, or sensory overload, this is the episode you've been waiting for. Let's stop guessing and start seeing. Book a consultation today:I am always here to help answer any question and schedule a 15 minute call with me.

They discuss why talk therapy often falls short, how trauma shows up as illness or fatigue, and what it really takes to retrain your nervous system so your body can finally begin to heal. If “pushing through” hasn't worked, this episode will show you why.

What if the Matrix isn't something outside of you—but something wired directly through you? In this week's MindBody TV, I'm sharing how your outer world—your money, health, relationships, and even your triggers—isn't random. It's all a direct reflection of your internal energy field. The Matrix is responding to you. When you begin to understand this, you stop trying to rearrange the screen… and start shifting the projector. You come out of resistance, back into receptivity.

In this powerful and unfiltered conversation, Light Watkins sits down with holistic health coach, author, and one-percenter Nate Ortiz. Nate's life began in crisis—born with heroin in his system and abandoned in the ICU. What followed was years of instability: foster homes, abuse, addiction in the family, and the trauma of watching loved ones go to prison. But instead of letting that define him, Nate transformed pain into purpose.In this episode, Nate shares how he found his way out of survival mode by pursuing an unlikely dream—earning a full scholarship to the #1 basketball high school in the country—and how he turned that momentum into a life of service, coaching elite clients like Lin-Manuel Miranda and Cordae. He breaks down what's really happening in your body when you're stuck in fight-or-flight and why survival mode makes it almost impossible to think clearly or pursue your goals.Through grounded, relatable language, Nate reveals his original frameworks—the Stopwatch Method, Dream Team Jersey, and the One Percenter mindset—that helped him heal trauma, build discipline, and show up consistently for his purpose. Whether you're burned out, stuck, or just trying to level up, this episode is packed with raw truth and practical tools to help you reclaim your power and rewrite your story.Send us a text message.

Are you thriving or just surviving? Steve Magness joins Kevin to discuss how many of us operate in psychological survival mode far more often than we realize, treating everyday workplace challenges as threats rather than growth opportunities. They explore the psychological traps of modern stress responses, protective systems, and the impact of flattening our identities. They also cover accepting “messiness”, the balance between short-term comfort and long-term growth, redefining success, and why authenticity must go beyond performance to resonate.

What does it mean to truly heal—and why do so many of us struggle to even begin? In this episode of A Really Good Cry, I sit down with healer, author, and spiritual educator Devi Brown for a deeply moving conversation about grief, joy, trauma, and the slow, sacred process of coming back to yourself. We talk about how healing often starts in survival mode, why joy takes practice, and how performative self-help can block real transformation. Devi shares powerful insights on breathwork, somatic healing, feminine softness, and devotion as a path to lasting change. Whether you’re navigating burnout, craving stillness, or trying to reclaim your worth, this episode is an invitation to soften, to feel, and to begin again—with compassion and intention.

I once worked with a family business run by two brothers and a sister. The sister was a dreamer, pushing niche markets and creative ideas. Her CEO brother was all about landing big accounts to keep cash flowing. Every strategy meeting turned into a shouting match. Nothing got decided, and the business was stuck.I pulled the creative sister aside and asked, “Do you want to be CEO?” She laughed, “No way.” That honesty was a game-changer. They finally aligned behind one leader, and the chaos started to fade. Is your family business stuck because no one's steering the ship?Download The Profit Gap for free at TheProfitBootCamp.com to see 5 hidden reasons family businesses work hard but still fall short of profit.Survival mode kills profitFamily businesses are special, but they come with unique traps. The daily grind, orders, payroll, and customer complaints can bury any chance of big-picture thinking. You're so busy keeping the lights on that you forget to ask: where's this business going? That's survival mode, and it's a profit killer. Strategy takes a backseat when you're just trying to get through the week.Clear roles fix family chaosThen there's the family dynamic. Loyalty and emotions can cloud tough calls. Maybe your cousin's great at sales but terrible at managing people, yet no one says anything because he's family. Or your parents are still on the payroll, even though they retired years ago. These are human issues, but they hurt your bottom line.The fix? Write down everyone's roles, even if it's awkward. Be clear: who's in charge of what? I've seen families transform their businesses just by putting this on paper. It's not about cutting people out but giving everyone a lane so the company can move forward. Always return to the core principle that increasing profit increases value for all family members.If every week feels like a scramble, you're missing structure. Without a precise rhythm, you're starting from zero every Monday. That's exhausting, and it keeps you stuck. Try this: start one monthly owner profit check-in, 60 minutes max.Focus on one question: what's driving profit next month? It could be following up on late invoices, cutting a small cost, or pushing a high-margin product. Get your team thinking about profit, not just staying busy. Structure turns chaos into progress.Family businesses also risk getting too comfortable. You might have a warm and loyal culture, but is it driving growth? Or is it just keeping the peace? Ask yourself: does our setup push us toward profit, or are we coasting on familiarity?One family business I know kept a low-margin product line because it was “part of our history.” Dropping it felt like betraying the past, but it freed up cash for marketing that doubled their revenue. Logic has to win.Structure over stressHere's a quick story. I had a client who groaned, “Mondays are a mess.” Projects stalled, and he was micromanaging everything. We set a simple rhythm: Monday to set goals, Wednesday for updates, Friday to review wins. In just a few weeks, his team started owning their tasks. He wasn't carrying the whole business anymore; he had breathing room. Structure doesn't sound sexy, but it's a game-changer.Now you see the real traps keeping your family business stuck. But what if the real problem isn't your family, it's you? In our next episode, we'll face the hard truth about leadership and profit. Don't miss it.Actions from prior episodesCut one cost: Block 30 minutes, review P&L, and cut one expense. Just one.

Beyond Survival Mode: Living Your Values Through Recovery's Toughest Challenges When life gets turned upside down in recovery, what keeps you moving forward? In this powerful episode of The Addicted Mind Plus, hosts Duane Oline and Eric Osterlind explore how reconnecting with your values can be the anchor you need when emotional pain threatens to pull you under. We've all been there – stuck in survival mode, consumed by shame, fear, or anger after a setback in recovery. The hardest part? Feeling disconnected from yourself, like you're just going through the motions of someone else's life. This episode dives into what value-based living really means and why it matters so much on your healing journey. Drawing from the work of Dr. Steven Hayes (founder of ACT Therapy) and Brené Brown, Duane and Eric offer practical wisdom on how values serve as your "North Star" during life's storms. Unlike goals that can be checked off, values are ongoing qualities that give your life meaning and direction. The hosts emphasize that valued living isn't about perfection – it's about direction, not destination. Even small steps toward what matters count as success. They also remind listeners that values can evolve over time, especially during challenging experiences that clarify what truly matters. This episode includes a step-by-step walkthrough of a worksheet designed to help you reconnect with your values when you're struggling. From identifying challenges to taking small, intentional actions that realign you with what matters most, Duane and Eric provide a practical roadmap for living authentically even when it's hard.

In today's episode, I sit down with entrepreneur and speaker Chad Sanschagrin to talk about the shift from survival to transformation. Chad shares the personal turning points that helped him break free from victimhood, including the night he met his wife and made a decision to become someone he was proud of. We talk about forgiveness, spiritual alignment, and learning to love yourself when the mirror doesn't reflect the person you're becoming. Chad opens up about his journey through faith, discipline, and emotional resilience, and why praying for storms is part of growing stronger.

John Tatro shares his struggles with pill addiction, the hold it had on his life, and the breaking point that made him seek change. #PillAddiction #SubstanceAbuse #TrueStory #MentalHealth #RecoveryJourney #OpioidEpidemic #HardTruth #lifestruggles Thank you to LUCY for sponsoring today's episode: Let's level up your nicotine routine with Lucy.  Go to HTTP://LUCY.CO/IANBICK and use promo code (IANBICK) to get 20% off your first order.
