In this episode, we explore the Flight trauma response—the urge to stay busy, avoid conflict, and run from discomfort, even if it costs you peace, connection, and purpose.
Through the story of Stephanie, a middle child who grew up in survival mode, we unpack how fleeing becomes a lifestyle—and what happens when you finally decide to stop. You'll learn how the flight response shows up in your relationships, your goals, and even your faith.
If you've ever felt like you're always moving but never arriving, this episode is for you.
Includes a guided journal reflection and a breathing exercise to help you slow down, stay present, and come home to yourself.
