The chapter delves into the impacts of being in survival mode, including chronic stress, burnout, and emotional exhaustion, and explores ways to move towards a safe mode for learning and growth. It also discusses personal experiences with new hair removal creams and supplements like Nutrafol and promotes timeless gifts like Pandora jewelry. The chapter offers tips on creating a secure environment, establishing routines, and practicing self-care to alleviate stress and anxiety.

Survival mode is, at its core, a stress response. When our minds and our bodies are put under extreme stress or believe we are in danger, we can enter a state where all we care about is getting through the next day. This can turn us into a person we're not and make us lose the enjoyment and love for life, but also feel overwhelmed by constant panic and anxiety. In today's episode, we discuss how to break free of survival mode, the difference between our learning brain and our survival brain, why we find ourselves here to begin with, what's happening in our brain and our bodies and the best advice, tips and therapies for getting back into safe mode.
