In this episode of We Play Full Out, we’re diving into a raw conversation about why so many of us are living in survival mode without even realizing it. Did you know your brain scans for danger five times every second? That means your nervous system is constantly asking: “Am I safe?” - even when the “threat” isn’t a lion chasing you, but a late text, a partner’s tone of voice, or a teammate missing a deadline.

We unpack the SCARF model by Dr. David Rock: the five hidden triggers (Status, Certainty, Autonomy, Relatedness, Fairness) that hijack your body and relationships and explain how these triggers keep you locked in stress, block intimacy, and even sabotage your ability to create and manifest.

You’ll hear us talk about:

• What happens in your body and brain when you perceive a threat
• Why animals complete the stress cycle naturally but humans get stuck in it
• How stored trauma in the body leads to health problems, hypervigilance, and disconnection
• Simple ways to reset your nervous system through movement, shaking, co-regulation, and emotional expression
• The role of breathwork and ecstatic dance in unlocking stored trauma and restoring safety
• Why unresolved stress blocks not just intimacy, but your ability to manifest abundance and creativity

If you’ve ever wondered why you keep overreacting, shutting down, or feeling stuck in anxiety, this episode will hit home. More importantly, it will show you how to complete the stress cycle, rewire your meaning-making, and build a baseline of safety in your body so you can reconnect with yourself, your partner, and your vision for life.

👉 Tune in, and let’s talk about how to move from survival to creation so you can live, love, and play full out.
