Hi Beautiful friend! Have you ever wondered why you know the truth, but your body still feels anxious? Why you trust God, but panic still shows up? Your nervous system has two main modes: safety and survival. Trauma teaches your body that danger is always nearby—even when it’s not! This is why you may feel on edge, exhausted, emotionally numb, or overwhelmed. It’s not because you’re failing. It’s because your body hasn’t learned safety yet. In this episode we are talking all about this! 2

Hi Beautiful friend! Today we are talking all about letting go and trusting God! You know, there was a time in my life when the phrase “Let go and let God” honestly made me roll my eyes.
