Fight, Flight, Freeze, Fawn — Understanding Survival Mode and How to Heal It

In this episode of Similarly Different, I'm breaking down what survival mode actually is, why your nervous system stays on high alert long after the stressful situation has ended, and what's actually helped me — from somatic healing, to walking everywhere after surgery, to a tiny calendar habit that's stuck with me for years. We talk about how trauma lives in the body, not just the mind, why rest feels so uncomfortable for so many of us, and why healing isn't a one-time breakthrough but a slow, ongoing process of small habits done consistently. If your body still feels tense, anxious, or on edge even though logically you know you're safe — this episode will help you understand why, and what to actually do about it. In this episode, we talk about: • What survival mode actually is — fight, flight, freeze, and fawn • Why your nervous system reacts even when the danger has passed• How trauma is stored in the body, not just the memory • Somatic healing, breathwork, and movement as nervous system tools • Why rest feels uncomfortable and how to give yourself permission • Social media, overstimulation, and protecting your energy • Therapy versus self-guided healing — and why you need both • Big sister advice for anyone who feels stuck in survival mode 🎓 This episode is sponsored by National University, to find out more information see here: https://bit.ly/4vJfyKQ 🔔 Don't forget:  ✔️ Subscribe for weekly episodes  ✔️ Leave a rating & review (it helps more than you know!)  ✔️ Drop a comment — I always read them  ✔️ Tag me in your stories @similarlydifferentpod — I'll repost! 💬 📲 Let's stay connected:  Instagram: @similarlydifferentpod  TikTok: @similarlydifferentpod  Submit a 'Similarly Curious' question: https://www.youandmemedia.co/similarlycurious

This is a conversation about legacy, identity, survival, and what it means to bet on yourself even when everything is working against you.If you've ever felt like you don't belong in the room, or you've been building something for years that nobody else can see yet — this one is for you.In this episode, we talk about:• Growing up Latino and navigating machismo in the beauty industry• How Etienne got his start and booked Eva Longoria at 21• How Kim Kardashian found him on Instagram• Imposter syndrome as a Latino immigrant in a celebrity world• His cancer diagnosis in 2022 and how he kept going• Six years of building Ortega Beauty through bad investors and setbacks• Why comfort is the killer of growth• What he wishes he knew before starting his brand• How to build a legacy in your own lane without comparing yourself to others📲 Etienne Ortega’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/etienneortega🎓 This episode is sponsored by National University, to find out more information see here: https://bit.ly/4vJfyKQ🔔 Don't forget:✔️ Subscribe for weekly episodes✔️ Leave a rating & review (it helps more than you know!)✔️ Drop a comment — I always read them✔️ Tag me in your stories @similarlydifferentpod — I'll repost! 💬📲 Let's stay connected:Instagram: @similarlydifferentpodTikTok: @similarlydifferentpodSubmit a 'Similarly Curious' question: https://www.youandmemedia.co/similarlycurious
