Are you surviving… or actually living?
In this raw and relatable episode, I’m joined by the bold and brilliant Leigh LaRie from Dirty Roses Podcast to unpack what survival mode really looks like—and how to break free from it.
We get vulnerable about our own experiences:
▶️ Losing jobs
▶️ Divorce
▶️ Hustle culture
▶️ Functioning depression
▶️ Generational conditioning (especially in the Black community)
…and how survival mode can quietly become a default setting that keeps you stuck.
Together, we explore:
– What survival mode actually is
– The mental, emotional, and physical symptoms that go unnoticed
– Why we confuse grinding with growth
– How we’ve coped (and sometimes just masked it)
– Steps we're taking to really heal and reclaim our lives
🎯 Because it’s about DAMN time we stop living to survive and start living to LIVE.
Whether you’re in survival mode or just came out, this one is for you.
