If you’ve felt like no amount of supplements, schedules, or self-care touches the deep exhaustion inside, you're not alone.
What you’re experiencing isn’t because you’re lazy, broken, or lacking discipline. It’s because your nervous system is doing exactly what God designed it to do: protect you.
When safety has been unpredictable—whether through birth trauma, chronic stress, childhood dynamics, or spiritual wounding, your body learns to live in survival states. You might fawn, freeze, flee, or fight without even realizing it. And the constant striving to “get it right,” “stay in control,” or “not be a burden” becomes your unconscious way of trying to stay safe.
This week, we’re diving into the Polyvagal Theory, a science-backed framework for how your nervous system detects safety or threat. But we’re not stopping there, we’re going to look at it through a Catholic lens, inviting God into the healing process. Because your symptoms aren’t a sign of failure. They’re a signal and they’re leading us to the deeper restoration your heart has been craving.
