About this listen

When the world feels overwhelming, our nervous systems often carry the weight.

In this episode of Bend, Snap and Chat, Cristie and Drake explore what it means to live in a body that is constantly responding to stress. From global anxiety and chronic illness to the everyday reality of survival mode, they unpack how our nervous systems absorb the chaos around us.

Blending science with lived experience, they discuss how fight, flight, and freeze show up in real life and share practical tools for grounding, regulation, and finding moments of safety in the body.

In this episode we talk about:

• what happens in the body during chronic stress


• why chronic illness often leads to nervous system overload


• how trauma, uncertainty, and world events affect regulation

• simple tools for calming an overstimulated nervous system


• learning how to return to safety in a chaotic world
