Why You Can't Think Your Way Into Feeling Safe And What To Do Instead

Is your mind always racing, trying to “figure out” why you feel anxious or overwhelmed? Do you find yourself constantly searching for the next mindset shift or affirmation, hoping it will help you feel safe? If so, this episode is for you.

In today’s episode, we’re busting the myth that you can think your way into safety. True safety isn’t just an idea—it’s a felt experience in your body. If you’ve been stuck in cycles of overanalyzing, overthinking, or feeling disconnected, I’m sharing what to do instead.

🔍 In This Episode, We Explore:

🌹 What does it even mean to feel safe? A reflection to help you explore this for yourself

🌹 How to know if your body is actually experiencing safety (hint: it’s not just about feeling “calm”)

🌹 What the rest and digest state is and why spending time here is essential for deep healing

🌹 The biological shifts that happen when your nervous system is in a true state of safety

🌹 Why we need others for healing—co-regulation and the power of safe connection

🌹Simple, effective tools to help your body access safety in everyday life

If you’ve been stuck in survival mode, feeling like you constantly need to fix or change yourself, this episode will help you step into a new way of being—one that supports true healing, sustainability, and self-trust.
