How to Create Safety in Uncertainty

When the world feels chaotic and your nervous system is on high alert, it’s easy to fall into habits like overthinking, doom-scrolling, or shutting down.

In this episode, we’re talking about what happens when your survival responses—freeze, fawn, and dissociate aren’t working anymore, and how to start building a more sustainable sense of safety in your daily life.

Fear grows when we feed it constantly. One of the simplest things you can do is pause once a day and shift your attention back to your body and environment.

Here are a few practical tools we explore in this episode:

• Feet on the ground – Feel the support beneath you.
• Notice a scent – Use your sense of smell to come into the present.
• Listen for a sound – Let your ears guide you back to the body and calm.
• Tap on your body – Gently tapping your arms, chest, or legs can help your system release stress.
• Breathe slowly – Just a few steady breaths can shift your state.

These simple practices help you reconnect with your body and create a moment of calm, even when the world around you is uncertain.
