    I didn’t know I was stuck in survival mode

    For 40 years I thought I was broken. I was carrying something that was never mine to begin with. If you are successful on the outside but anxious, hypervigilant, and exhausted on the inside, this episode explains why. And it shows you the way out. This is episode one of Violetta: Wired for Survival, Made for More. I am the daughter of a child Holocaust survivor and the granddaughter of four Holocaust survivors. I was born wired for survival mode. Hypervigilance. Anxiety. An inherited stress response I could not name until I lost everything a decade ago. What I found next, the science of epigenetics and neuroplasticity, changed my life. This episode is the foundation for the entire show. What survival mode is. Where it comes from. And why you can absolutely break free. IN THIS EPISODE What survival mode actually is, and the hidden signs you are stuck in it How epigenetics passes trauma down through generations, so you can inherit an altered stress response you never earned Why survival mode shuts down 90% of your brain and turns the modern workplace into a room full of five year olds The neuroplasticity discovery that proves your brain can be rewired at any age The first small daily practices I used to regulate my nervous system and come back to life If this one lands, follow the show so you never miss an episode.

    Survival Mode Kept You Safe- now it is keeping you small.

    For most of my life there was a hypervigilance in me I could not explain. I had to know where the exit was in every building I walked into. I could not be in large crowds. And underneath all of it was this feeling that the bottom was about to come out. I would watch the people around me and see an ease I could not manufacture. I studied it. I tried to copy it. It never took. I thought something was fundamentally wrong with me. I was forty when I found out nothing was. What I was carrying was never mine to begin with. I am the daughter of a child Holocaust survivor and the granddaughter of four. Survival mode was wired into me before I took my first breath. For a long time I believed that was a life sentence. Then I learned what neuroscientists discovered at the turn of the century. The brain is not fixed. What was wired can be rewired. That is why on this show we explore survival mode. What it does to you, what it costs you, and how to break free. New episodes every Tuesday.
