Ep. 167: The Survival Mode Survival Plan
Manage episode 501602191 series 3554576
"Just rest more." "Set better boundaries." "You need to prioritize self-care."
Oh, that would be NICE, wouldn't it? But what do you do when life becomes a complete dumpster fire and all that advice feels like someone telling you to "just relax" while your house is literally burning down?
This episode is for the woman living in survival mode who is so tired of being told she's doing it wrong. You're not. You're doing what you have to do.
Sometimes you CAN'T step back. Sometimes the season you're in demands everything you have. And everyone telling you that you'll burn out if you don't change something? They might be right—but you can survive this anyway.
In this episode, you'll discover:
- Why "you're choosing acceptance" instead of choosing burnout
- The radical permission you need to survive instead of thrive
- How to lower the bar (way, way lower) without feeling guilty
- Bare minimum swaps that turn your survival strategies into wins
- Energy protection scripts that actually work
- The difference between destructive overwhelm and purposeful intensity
You'll walk away knowing that you CAN make it through this season intact. No shame, no pressure to fix what can't be fixed right now. Just honest tools to help you survive the dumpster fire with your sanity and soul still attached.
Resources mentioned:
Get some powerful mantras to inspire, encourage, and life you up when you need as little something intentional to focus on.
