Listen "Surviving vs. Thriving: Choosing a Life of Fulfillment"
Episode Synopsis
In today’s episode, we’re diving into the difference between simply surviving and truly thriving. I grew up watching my mother work tirelessly—she was a survivor, always pushing through, but she wasn’t thriving. That experience shaped me, and I made a decision: I want to live differently. I want to thrive. And I believe you can, too.
We’ll break down what it means to be in survival mode, using the 4 F’s—Fight, Flight, Freeze, and Fawn—to explain how stress keeps us stuck. Then, we’ll explore what thriving looks like and why it’s not just for the rich or the lucky—it’s a choice anyone can make.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✔️ The key differences between surviving and thriving
✔️ How survival mode impacts your mindset, energy, and well-being
✔️ The 4 F’s (Fight, Flight, Freeze, Fawn) and how they show up in daily life
✔️ Why thriving isn’t about perfection but about intention and small choices
✔️ 3 powerful ways to shift from survival mode to a thriving mindset
