You’ve been told to stay safe. To take it slow. That your comfort zone is where you’ll find peace.
But what if that stillness is actually what’s keeping you buzzing with anxiety, frustration, or even low mood?

In today’s episode, we unravel a powerful reframe inspired by Maslow’s famous quote, through a nervous system lens. Because what your body really wants might not be safety... but growth.

Inside this short session, you’ll learn:

  • Why your nervous system might be screaming for expansion, not rest

  • The surprising truth about why “doing nothing” can feel worse than “doing the scary thing”

  • A personal story of how I moved from fear to self-trust (and the unexpected calm that followed)

  • One tiny step you can take this week to regulate through gentle courage

💛 This is your gentle nudge and nervous system permission slip, to choose the opposite of stuck.
Come back to life, one brave micro-move at a time.
