Shownotes
In the span of just a few weeks, everything has changed. In today’s episode, I’m talking about what it feels like when “it” hits you like a ton of bricks. While everything looks okay right now, that’s not truly the case. The work continues because life keeps moving.
What I’m really worried about is what will happen when things finally slow down, and everyone’s nervous systems are no longer in survival mode.
Whether you’ve lived through something as visible as a wildfire, or something quieter (but still very heavy), you are NOT meant to go at it alone, friend. There is zero shame in asking for help, and honestly, it might be one of the most important things you can do for yourself + those around you!
In this episode, I cover:
- How the Ashby Fire started suddenly and moved fast + how close it came to our home
- My gratitude for the safety of our home, animals, first responders & community
- How we’re still in survival mode, even though things may “look” okay
- Why trauma doesn’t always hit in the moment
- My experience with anxiety and physical symptoms
- Tools I used to start my healing journey in 2020
- Why I knew I couldn’t carry everything alone & chose to seek support after losing my dad in 2023
- Understanding there is zero shame in asking for help because we’re NOT meant to do this alone
