Thanks for joining me on the Born to Know podcast. I’m Eyla Cuenca, for over a decade I’ve been guiding women and families on their path to reclaiming their self-sovereignty through the scope of fertility, conception, birth & postpartum. You may know me for exposing the various ways in which disempowering narratives and systems claim to be giving us choice, convenience & freedom from suffering. And just when it seems like I'm going to pull off the culprit's villain mask, I like to reveal how you've been in the driver's seat all along. We decide when we are ready to receive, to drop the struggle, to make the change, to walk toward life. The Born To Know podcast brings you conversations with world-renowned experts & thought leaders in every field to peel back the layers of this epic world we live in and see where choice really resides for each of us, every day. We are all born to know and to live as our most authentic and liberated selves.

012. Neuroception, Emotional Addiction & The Hidden Pleasure of Victimhood w/ Dr. Kelly Brogan

What if the obstacles in your life were actually self-created loops of perception? In today’s episode, Dr. Kelly Brogan takes us on a profound journey of self-inquiry, examining the ways we unconsciously create and sustain victimhood in our lives, relationships, and even parenting.

We explore the psychological and physiological patterns that reinforce victim consciousness and how the body craves certain familiar emotional states—even when they don’t serve us. Kelly shares a powerful dream that illuminated her personal victim patterns, demonstrating how we often seek validation for our pain rather than true resolution.
