    Episode 3 - From Fog to Freedom: Emotional Blind Spots

    Have you ever looked back at a situation and thought,“How did I not see that sooner?” Maybe it was a conversation that didn’t sit right.A pattern that kept repeating.A dynamic that slowly drained your energy. In this episode of Forward In Freedom, Tanya Johnson explores emotional blind spots and why even strong, capable, intelligent people can miss what is happening right in front of them. Not because they are unaware, but because their nervous system is trying to protect them. This episode breaks down what emotional blind spots really are, how chronic stress and high-pressure dynamics narrow perspective, and why confusion is often a biological response rather than a personal failure. In this episode, you will learn: What emotional blind spots are and how they formWhy survival mode prioritizes safety over clarityHow pressure becomes normalized and clouds decision-makingWhy discomfort can feel familiar even when it is harmfulHow awareness creates the first step toward freedom Tanya also shares a powerful Freedom Nugget to help you recognize subtle emotional reactions, stop explaining away discomfort, and begin turning blind spots into breakthroughs. Forward In Freedom is not about venting.It is not about blame. And it is not about staying stuck. It is about clarity, confidence, and intentional forward movement.
