Survival Was Never the Destination

Survival got me through some of the hardest seasons of my life. It taught me how to endure, adapt, stay vigilant, and keep moving no matter what. But what happens when the danger is gone and you're still living like the emergency never ended? In this episode, I reflect on growing up in survival mode, the ways those skills helped me, and the surprising realization that I had been making decisions based on a life I had already left behind. We talk about hypervigilance, rest, peace, and what it means to stop running from something and finally start moving toward something. Maybe survival isn't the destination. Maybe it's the bridge.
