In this powerful and personal episode, Jessica unpacks the subconscious survival patterns that activate during times of stress, crisis, and emotional overwhelm. Rooted in our earliest life experiences, these patterns often run automatically—guiding how we respond, react, and cope without conscious awareness.
Through the lens of a recent family medical emergency, Jessica shares how these ingrained responses—like self-sacrifice, emotional suppression, and high-functioning numbness—can take over, even when we believe we’re in control.
This episode invites listeners to:
Recognize their own survival patterns
Understand the neuroscience behind them
Begin the journey of emotional healing and rewiring
Move from unconscious reaction to intentional response
What You’ll Learn:
Why our bodies react automatically during stress and trauma
How early childhood experiences shape lifelong coping patterns
The hidden cost of being "the strong one"
Practical steps to start healing, rewiring, and choosing a healthier response
