What Survival Mode Really Looks Like — and How to Find Your Way Out
We often think of “survival mode” as something that only happens during extreme situations — a crisis, a trauma, a major life change. But the truth is, survival mode can settle into your life slowly and quietly, until one day you look around and realize… you don’t remember the last time you felt okay.
I know because I lived there for over a decade.

The difference a year makes is massive—when you commit to the process and return to balance.
At the beginning of last year, I was working harder than ever.
Growing my business. Showing up for clients. Doing everything I thought I was “supposed” to do.
But in the background, my health was slipping fast.
In just 3 months, I ended up in the ER eight times.
No one could tell me what was really wrong.
I was exhausted, anxious, inflamed, and disconnected from myself.
Each visit ended the same:
“No answers.”
Just another pill… and another… and another.
Before I knew it, I was taking 7 to 8 different medications a day—and still felt awful.
I was bloated, fatigued, emotionally drained, and spiritually numb.
I reached a breaking point and asked myself:
“Is this the life I worked so hard for?”
“Is this what success looks like?”
The answer was a loud, painful no.
“Stop Trying to Heal Before You’re Honest”
In today's spiritual and personal development world, the word healing has become almost cliché.
It’s everywhere—on every Instagram quote, in every workshop, on every coaching call. But here’s the truth most won’t tell you:
Healing doesn’t start with a sound bath or sage. It starts with radical honesty.
We’ve become so obsessed with healing that we’ve bypassed the one thing that actually initiates transformation: the truth.
Before healing can take place, you must face the uncomfortable reality that you might be the problem. Not because you're broken. But because the patterns in your life—especially in relationships—don’t just happen to you.
They are mirrors.
And most people skip this step entirely. They’re told:
“You don’t have to know what’s leaving your body. Just trust the process.”
But I don’t believe that.
In fact, I believe the opposite.
You must know what energy is leaving you—because if you don’t name it, feel it, and understand it, you’ll unconsciously invite it right back in.
