What if the calm you present to the world is actually a costume your nervous system stitched together to keep you safe? We go straight at the quiet habit of “performing peace” and why so many high-functioning, caregiving women confuse numbness with resilience. Keri shares the rupture that changed everything—miscarriage and the grief no mantra could touch—and the practical path that followed: therapy, emotional intelligence, and somatic practices that made feeling safe again.
Across this conversation, we map the body cues that often get ignored—throat lock, chest heaviness, spiraling thoughts—and translate them into usable information. You’ll hear how fawn and freeze show up in conflict, why overthinking spikes at night, and what it takes to widen your window of tolerance so expression becomes possible. We talk about letting tears come without shame, raising your voice when truth requires it, and building boundaries that carry only what belongs to you. The goal isn’t to stay calm at all costs. It’s to become coherent: the same person inside and out.
By the end, you’ll have a felt sense of peace that isn’t a performance, plus simple ways to practice—naming emotions, grounding through the body, orienting to present-time safety, and speaking needs with clarity. Expect a reframing of spirituality too: not a bypass, but a return to the soul who can witness, feel, and alchemize. If you’re craving more joy, play, and pleasure—and the sturdiness to face whatever life throws your way—this one is for you.
