You Were Safe, But Were You Really? Understanding Physical vs Emotional Safety | Evelyn LeVasseur

In this personal and honest episode of Minding Mind, Evelyn dives into a topic we often overlook: the difference between physical safety and emotional safety—and how a lack of the latter shapes our relationships, our self-trust, and our legacy.

Many of us grew up in homes where the bills were paid, the doors were locked, and our needs were met… but we still didn’t feel safe being our full selves. Evelyn explores how emotional safety gets compromised, the subtle ways it shows up in adulthood, and why reclaiming it is foundational to healing, wholeness, and generational change.

This isn’t just about personal growth—it’s about breaking cycles and building something better for ourselves and the generations after us.

In This Episode:

• What physical safety is (and how your nervous system protects you)

• Why emotional safety is harder to recognize—but just as crucial

• Signs you’re navigating emotional unsafety (even if you don’t realize it)

• How people-pleasing, self-abandonment, and overfunctioning are rooted in emotional neglect

• The role emotional safety plays in self-trust, boundaries, intimacy, and leadership

• Why creating emotionally safe spaces—especially for your children—is legacy work
