131. The Exhaustion of Always Monitoring for Safety

In this deeply personal episode, I open up about the exhausting pattern of constantly scanning for safety—checking for signs of rejection, withdrawal, or disconnection—in our relationships, work, and daily life.I share the story of how I internalized this hypervigilance from a loving but emotionally inconsistent parent, and how it shaped my nervous system and sense of safety. This episode is not about blaming—it’s about naming the root and finding the path home.If you’ve ever found yourself waiting for the other shoe to drop, reading too deeply into someone’s silence, or feeling numb when life is actually going well... you’re not alone. This is survival mode—and there is another way.You’ll hear how I’ve begun softening this pattern through nervous system work, how it shows up in business and relationships, and what it actually means to stop living from the outside in.This is your reminder: you’re not too sensitive or broken. You’ve adapted. And now you get to choose something new.https://marinayt.com/the-unburdened-heart Connect with me:❥Softening into self- 3 month 1:1 with Whats App Support:https://marina-yt.mykajabi.com/offers/PAWQhZHu❥❥1:1 Coaching with me: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWcZM5s9c2OjOLwoGMI5jE6rh_JAzjN2d_vCtuVe7e3pVGxw/viewform❥❥❥Stay or Go Course: ⁠https://marinayt.com/stay-or-go⁠ ❥❥❥❥ FREE RESOURCE: a step-by-step process of working with your triggersTRIGGERED TO ROOTED: A ROADMAP TO CREATE TREASURES FROM YOUR TRIGGERSThis powerful step by step process will walk you through how to somatically move through a trigger, ground yourself, allow the emotions to come up and experience massive growth in your lifeDownload here:⁠ ⁠https://marinayt.com/trigger-2-rooted⁠⁠Follow me on Instagram:⁠ ⁠www.instagram.com/marina.y.t⁠⁠ Subscribe to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@marinatriner Top Episode Quotes:“It’s not about low self-worth.
