    Your peaceful Life Is A Lie (Nervous System Explained) | Homecoming Epd 23.

    If your life is finally calm but it feels wrong, unsettling, or even boring... you're not self-sabotaging. Your nervous system is.Your body can become addicted to chaos. When you've been in survival mode—constant deadlines, drama, and crisis—your brain rewires to see that panic as normal. So when peace arrives, it feels like a threat. This is why you might pick fights, procrastinate, or create problems when things are good.In this episode of Unfiltered Truths, I (Sandra) share my own experience of missing chaos and the 4-step framework I used to retrain my nervous system to accept peace—without the anxiety.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS:0:00 The Lie of a "Peaceful Life"1:00 Why calm feels wrong2:10 My chaos addiction story3:45 Your brain on survival mode5:30 3 reasons you recreate drama7:15 THE 4-STEP FIX7:45 Step 1: The Naming Ceremony9:20 Step 2: The Healthy Swap10:50 Step 3: Building New Pathways12:30 Step 4: Micro-Moments of Peace14:00 The cost of choosing chaos16:00 What true calm looks like17:30 Your one thing this week🎧 LISTEN TO THE PODCAST:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7D5FaQ9qTvxGk1HcNq2R6dApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unfiltered-truths/id1234567890(Find us on all major platforms - search "Unfiltered Truths")📌 SUBSCRIBE to the YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@UnfilteredTruths💬 COMMENT BELOW:Type "REWIRE" if you're committing to breaking out of survival mode this week.CONNECT WITH ME:Instagram: @prunskybae#nervoussystem #nervoussystemhealing #nervoussystemregulation #mentalhealth #anxiety #selfsabotage #survivalmode #healing #emotionalhealth #innerpeace #psychology #selfhelp #podcast #mentalhealthpodcast #neuroplasticity #rewireyourbrain #mentalhealthmatters #emotionalregulation #trauma #burnout #calm #mindbody #stress #attachment #abandonmentissues #therapy #mindfulness #wellness #personaldevelopment #mentalhealthawareness

    Stop Telling Yourself This Story (It’s Why You’re Stuck) | Homecoming Epd 22

    You are not stuck. You are storytelling.That voice telling you it’s too late, you’re not responsible enough, or you don’t have what it takes? It’s not truth.

    UG The Uncomfortable Secret: Stop Setting Goals. (How Your Past Fuels Your Future) | Homecoming Ep 19

    Feeling the pressure to set huge New Year's goals? What if the key to a powerful 2026 isn't forward in a planner, but backward in your past? In this Boxing Day special, we're doing the opposite of returning gifts—we're unwrapping the hidden gifts from your 2025.Join Sandra for a radical, anti-resolution review. We'll go on an "Archaeological Dig" into your past year with a concrete 3-step toolkit to transform your experiences into fuel:🔍 The 3-Step Archaeological Dig:1. Data, Not Drama: Convert personal "failures" into objective facts. (Example: "I'm a fraud" becomes "I pitched 10, 2 said yes, feedback was on pricing.").2. Skill Acquisition: Discover the human skills (resilience, discernment, emotional tolerance) 2025 forced you to develop.3. Unseen Strength: Name your hidden superpowers—the courage, resilience, and self-awareness you proved you have.This isn't about fixing yourself. It's about finding the blueprint for 2026 that's already written in the data, skills, and strengths you earned this past year. If you're ready to enter the new year with clarity and confidence from a place of wisdom, not shame, this is for you.🗓️ Timestamps:00:00- The Backward Secret to a Successful Year01:00- Welcome & The Pressure of the "New Year"02:08- Unwrapping the Gift of the Past Year02:40- Lens 1: Data vs. Drama04:11- Lens 2: The Skills You Acquired06:07- Lens 3: Your Unseen Strengths & Superpowers10:08- How This Fuels 2026 (Without Grand Goals)11:21- Final Encouragement❤️ If this different approach to the new year resonated with you, please share this video with a friend and subscribe for next week, where we build your 2026 "Anti-Resolution" from this blueprint.🔔Subscribe to The Unfiltered Truths Podcast for more conversations on finding wisdom within and coming home to your true self.🎧 LISTEN TO THE PODCAST:Main Link:https://pod.link/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3Iu...Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/2LF3COg...ABOUT THIS CHANNEL:The Unfiltered Truths is where we have real conversations about the heart breaking,beautiful, and messy parts of life.
