453 - Fight, Flight, Freeze, or Fawn: The Real Reason You Snap, Shut Down, or Over-Accommodate

Too reactive. Too sensitive. Not resilient enough. 

If that's the story you've been telling yourself, this episode is going to rewrite it.

Fight, flight, freeze, and fawn are just adaptive responses your nervous system built to keep you safe. 

This episode breaks down all four, shows you exactly how each one shows up in a full, high-achieving life, and explains why willpower has never been the answer.

If you've ever tried to think or discipline your way out of a stress response and wondered why nothing stuck, this is why.

What You'll Learn

• How each stress response shows up in real life
