In this episode, I open up about my subconscious fear of strangers and how it affects my daily life—even something as simple as leaving my room. I explore where this fear might come from, and whether it’s rooted in childhood trauma, social anxiety, or a mix of both.
Together, we’ll unpack the difference between trauma-driven fear and thought-driven social anxiety, and talk about how they can overlap in powerful ways. I’ll share what it feels like to live with these patterns, why the body sometimes reacts before the mind, and how small, compassionate steps can begin to shift the experience.
If you’ve ever felt awkward, uptight, or paralyzed around strangers—or wondered why your body tenses up in social situations—this episode is for you. You’re not alone, and the patterns you carry don’t define you.
