17. How to Know if You Are Stuck In Survival Mode

Resilient with Jessica Boarman

Ever feel like you’re just trying to get through the day, running on autopilot, and everything feels harder than it should? You’re not alone. You might be stuck in survival mode.

In this episode, we’re breaking it all down—what survival mode actually is, how to recognize if you’re in it, and, most importantly, how to start moving out of it. I’m sharing my own experience, the four common responses (fight, flight, freeze, or fawn), and small, doable steps to help you shift toward healing.

If you’ve been feeling exhausted, foggy, or overwhelmed, this one’s for you. Let’s take the first step together—one breath, one choice, one small act of self-care at a time.
