Yes I’m safe. No, I Can’t Relax.

A Nervous System Deep Dive: From Cliffside Panic to Inner Peace

You know those moments where everything seems fine—but something inside you isn’t?
Your heart’s racing, your jaw’s tight, your stomach’s in knots…
And you can’t explain why.

This episode is for that version of you.
The one who walks into a room already on edge.
The one who says yes while your whole body is screaming no.
The one who smiles, shows up, holds it together—and crashes the moment you're alone.

This isn’t just stress.
It’s your nervous system doing what it was wired to do: protect you.
Even when the threat is long gone.
Even when the danger isn’t real—just remembered.

Understanding this changed everything for me.
And it can change everything for you, too.

This episode isn’t just about trauma.
It’s about everyday life.
About what happens when the body keeps the score and we don’t even realize it’s still playing the game.

If you’ve ever frozen mid-conversation, overreacted and felt ashamed, or walked away from something good because it felt unfamiliar—this is why.

To receive my weekly podcast episodes, it would mean to world to me if you’d subscribe, or share this with someone who needs a little reminder that they are seen and loved too.
