Beschrijving

For a long time, I thought being strong meant pushing through. Working through illness. Loving through fear. Providing through exhaustion. Smiling while my nervous system was in overdrive. But survival mode is not self-love. In this episode, I’m talking honestly about trauma, chronic stress, and how the nervous system stores what the mind tries to forget. From divorce and emotional abuse to long COVID, financial pressure, and loving again while still healing this is what it looks like to regulate instead of react. If you’ve ever wondered why small things trigger big reactions… Why your body feels tired in ways sleep can’t fix… Why you overwork, overgive, or overthink… This conversation is for you. Self Space was never about perfection. It’s about learning how to feel safe inside your own body again.
