from Unlearning · host Shayna Naus
We say we want change, but what if what we’re really afraid of isn’t growth… it’s unlearning?In this episode, we explore why letting go of old patterns can feel more threatening than staying stuck, even when those patterns no longer serve us. We unpack how survival strategies like people-pleasing, overworking, and self-abandonment once kept us safe, and why your nervous system may resist releasing them now.You’ll hear about:Why unlearning feels unsafe to the bodyThe difference between change and regulationHow identity, attachment, and belonging keep us clingingWhy you don’t need more discipline, you need safetyWhat unlearning actually looks like in real lifeThis is a soft, honest conversation for anyone who feels ready for something different… but doesn’t know how to let go of what’s familiar.✨ Free live masterclass: Regulated & Aligned January 29th at 7:30pm (Zoom)A gentle space to explore alignment, safety, and nervous system–led change.
