From Survival to Safety: Rebuilding What Trauma Took
Episode 280
Thursday, 13 November, 2025

For most of my life, I did not realize I was living in survival. I thought I was disciplined. I thought I was focused. I thought I was built different. But underneath all of that, my body was on alert. I woke up braced for impact. I pushed myself hard because slowing down felt unsafe. I chased excellence because I was terrified of losing control. That tension became my normal. I did not know that the exhaustion I carried was not a mindset issue. It was a survival response. It was the nervous system doing its job for far too long. This podcast comes from the years I spent confusing trauma patterns for personality traits. It comes from learning how survival hides behind achievement. How perfectionism becomes self protection. How productivity becomes avoidance. How strength becomes armor. It comes from finally understanding that you cannot outwork a body that does not feel safe.
