Your Body Knew First: How Survival Shapes Us & How We Heal

At 13 years old, Angela Jean lost both her father and sister to suicide - and the world she knew collapsed overnight. What followed was years of instability, survival, and learning to navigate life without a roadmap. Today, Angela is a resilience coach who helps people rewire survival patterns through rhythm, micro-movements, and nervous system wisdom.

In this powerful conversation, Angela shares how trauma reshapes the body long before the mind can make sense of it - and why traditional healing often falls short when it ignores the wisdom of our physiology. She breaks down what survival mode really looks like, how it silently influences our choices, and the simple, accessible practices anyone can use to shift their nervous system toward safety and regulation.

This episode is for anyone who has lived through chaos, feels stuck in survival patterns, or is ready to build resilience from the inside out. Angela offers a grounded, deeply embodied perspective on healing - not performative, not surface-level, but real rewiring from within.

In this episode, we explore:

• Angela’s journey from runaway to resilience coach
• How trauma imprints on the body and shapes lifelong survival patterns
• Why “your body knew danger before your mind did”
• Micro-movements, rhythm, and nervous system practices that restore safety
• How to tell the difference between performative healing and true transformation
• What it really takes to rebuild trust after trauma

Raw, insightful, and profoundly human - this is a conversation that stays with you.
