Update: 2025-10-23
Description
After abuse, peace can feel wrong. After years of chaos and survival, calm can make your body panic — because silence used to mean danger.
In this episode, Faustina explains why calm feels unsafe and how to rebuild your nervous system’s trust in quiet. With simple grounding tools and sensory-aware examples, she shows how “micro-calm” moments can rewire your sense of safety over time.
For mothers recovering from trauma, navigating co-parenting, or living with ADHD or autism, this episode offers realistic, no-pressure steps toward peace that lasts.
