• My Peace Got PTSD
    Jun 19 2025

    💭 Episode Snapshot:

    You prayed for peace. 🌸

    You begged for rest. 😮‍💨

    And when it finally came… your spirit said, “We don’t trust it.” 😬


    If stillness makes you anxious, silence feels loud, or your body braces in calm moments—you’re not broken. 💔 You’re just healing from a world that taught you peace was a setup. 🧠⚠️



    🧠 In This Episode:


    🔹 Why peace can feel suspicious after trauma

    🔹 How your body stores chaos—even in quiet seasons

    🔹 Ways to teach your nervous system: “It’s safe now.” 🕊️

    🔹 Reminders that you’re not too much—you’re just adjusting 💫



    💬 Quote Worth Repeating:


    “That’s not peace. That’s a trauma response in a pretty outfit.”



    🧘🏽‍♀️ Affirmation of the Week:


    “Even when it feels unfamiliar, I deserve peace that doesn’t make me flinch.”

    🎧 (Stay ‘til the end for a calming affirmation to carry with you.)

    Episode 1: 'healed•ish

    Welcome to the very first episode of In Living Polar—a podcast where healing isn’t perfect, soft life gets real, and we make peace with being in process.


    In this episode, I’m opening the door and letting you into what “healed•ish” really feels like. Because let’s be honest—sometimes healing looks like a glow-up, and sometimes it looks like crying in the car while reheating coffee for the third time.


    I’m a mom of three, an Army wife holding it down solo since December, and the creator of not one, but two podcasts. So yes—I’m proud of every word I recorded in this episode. One step at a time is still forward.


    We talk:

    • What healing actually looks like in real life (hint: it’s not always cute)

    • The guilt of struggling even when you “should be good”

    • How to honor your growth, even when you’re not all the way there yet


    This episode is your reminder that you don’t have to be fully healed to show up—you just have to be real. Welcome to the journey. Welcome to In Living Polar.


    🖤

    Chris
