In this episode, I’m sharing my raw, personal journey of discovering I was living in functional freeze, aka survival mode, how my body has finally started to thaw now that it's starting to feel more safe, and the exact daily practices I’m using right now to reconnect with myself and move back into flow.

I get into:
🌀 What functional freeze actually is—and why so many high-achieving women are stuck in it without even realizing it
⚡️The subtle symptoms you might be ignoring (like zoning out, jaw clenching, or "waiting mode")
💥 How things actually got worse after I felt safe—and why that’s a powerful part of healing
🌿 The nervous system rituals that are helping me soften, regulate, and release trauma from my body (the issues are in the tissues)
💧 Why meditation isn’t the right tool if you're in Freeze Mode (and what to do instead)
🔥 What’s shifting in my body, energy, and emotions as I reclaim my regulation

If you’ve been feeling numb, stuck, or like your body is holding onto something you can’t quite name—this episode is for you.
You are not broken.
You might just be frozen.
And the good news is, you can melt back into your body—gently, with love.
