Freeze isn’t weakness — it’s what happens when life has thrown too much at you for too long.
And in Appalachia, we weren’t raised to sit still…
so when your body finally forces you to stop, it feels foreign, scary, and strangely holy.
In this episode, Mandy opens up about the season she froze..
the grief she tried to outrun,
the warnings her mama and godmother gave her,
and the clarity that finally came when everything went quiet.
This one is for the ones who keep pushing until something inside whispers,
Sit down. Breathe. You’re human.
