About this listen
Have you ever walked into a room, or sat down in a group, and suddenly...your mind goes blank?
You forget everyone’s name, can’t find your words, and feel yourself mentally disappear?
You’re not alone — and you’re not broken.
In this episode, Nat shows you what’s really happening when you shut down in front of others, especially those who feel intimidating, judgmental, or emotionally unsafe.
Together we’ll uncover:
• Why your nervous system chooses freeze or fawn when it doesn’t feel safe
• The unconscious memories that might be triggering this shutdown response
• Why your reaction isn’t a weakness — it’s protection
• How to begin rewiring your brain and body to feel safe again around others
• A short hypnotic process to reconnect with your inner safety and reclaim your voice
You deserve to be seen, heard, and to feel confident — not small or invisible.
This episode is a step toward that version of you.
