For so many of us, survival isn’t just something we went through — it’s something our bodies learned.

Years of stress, trauma, instability or crisis can rewire the nervous system to see danger even when none exists.

In this episode, we explore what happens when life finally becomes calm… and it doesn’t feel safe.

Why do peaceful moments feel unfamiliar?

Why do we keep searching for something to go wrong — even when everything is okay?

And how do we begin to unlearn that constant state of high alert?

Through honest reflection and gentle prompts, we talk about:

• Living in fight-or-flight for years

• The discomfort of calm after chaos

• How to recognise when your brain is “searching”

• Practising safety, rest, and acceptance in real time

If you’ve ever struggled to relax because things are going well — this episode is for you.
