81 | Getting Out of Survival Mode: Nervous System Healing, Self Worth, and the Power of Safety with Mary Armendarez (Part 1)
Download MP3If you have spent years putting everyone else first and somewhere along the way completely lost yourself, this episode is going to feel like someone finally put words to everything you have been carrying.
Host Kelsey Redd sits down with Mary Armendarez, author of The Return to Your Soul, speaker, meditation guide, and creator of transformational programs for women who are done surviving and ready to actually live. Mary's story starts at 16, kicked out of her home and thrust into survival mode, and she spent decades giving her power away to everyone around her before a crisis with her husband's health brought her to her knees and ultimately to her greatest transformation.
In this conversation Mary and Kelsey talk about the signs that your nervous system is completely shot, why you keep snapping at your kids even when you desperately do not want to, and the embarrassingly simple practices that can start shifting everything, including one that happens before you even get off the toilet in the morning.
In this episode you will learn:
- The signs your nervous system is out of balance and you are stuck in survival mode
- Why your most triggering child is actually showing you your own unhealed wounds
- How the violet fire technique instantly neutralizes conflict with your kids and your partner
- Why feeling safe is the foundation of everything, including abundance, self worth, and receiving
- The two minute breath practice that brings you back into alignment instantly
- Why you keep people pleasing and how saying no is actually an act of self respect
- How what is happening inside of you is creating a ripple effect in your children whether you realize it or not
This is not about adding more to your plate. This is about shifting how you use the energy you already have so you can stop reacting and start responding, to your kids, your partner, and your own life.
