About this listen

You’ve been in survival mode for so long that you’ve mistaken it for who you are.
But here’s the truth: survival isn’t your identity — it’s your conditioning.

In this powerful episode of the Get Up Show Up Never Give Up Podcast, we uncover why peace feels unsafe, why thriving can trigger guilt, and why so many of us self-sabotage when life finally slows down. Backed by trauma research, neuroscience, and lived experience, this conversation will help you rewire your nervous system, release survival-based patterns, and step into the full version of you who no longer flinches at calm, joy, or freedom.

If you’ve ever caught yourself saying:
👉 “I don’t know who I am without the struggle”
👉 “I feel guilty for resting”
👉 “Chaos feels like home to me”

…then this episode is for you.

You’ll learn:
✅ Why survival patterns disguise themselves as “personality traits”
✅ How to stop confusing chaos with comfort
✅ Practical steps to retrain your brain and body to feel safe in peace
✅ What it means to evolve from surviving to thriving — without guilt

Don’t just listen — live it. Carry the message with you daily by shopping the Get Up Show Up Never Give Up Store. Our exclusive merch is designed to remind you that survival is not your identity — thriving is. 🛍️ Shop now at 👉 https://getupshowupnevergiveup.store/
