Feeling Safe & Standing Strong
Feeling tense, reactive, or like you're holding more than you have to carry? You're not imagining it, and you're not alone.
If you're looking for practical, plain English tools to understand your nervous system, have kinder conversations with yourself and others, and feel a little steadier in your own skin, you're in the right place.
Each episode gives you body-based practices, real conversations, and simple frameworks you can reach for in the moments that matter. In all relationships, not just at work and in the quiet moments when you just need to settle. No jargon, no pressure, nothing that requires a psychology degree to use.
The more you listen, the more you'll find these tools showing up naturally, when a conversation gets hard, when the day gets heavy, when you need to come back to yourself.
Hosted by Bronwyn Clee, Trauma Responsive Psychosocial Coach and Educator and Co-Founder of The Institute of Hope, in partnership with Protective Behaviours International.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Few things feel heavier than the conflict we don’t know how to talk about. In this episode, we explore the impact of silence on our safety and well-being, and how carrying unspoken tension shows up in our bodies.
We connect this with Universal Protective Behaviours, especially the reminder that safety includes having safe ways to speak up.
Somatic Practices in this episode:
- Lion’s Breath — a strong exhale to release held tension.
- Silent Mirror Practice — sitting with yourself or a trusted other in quiet reflection.
(You’ll be guided through these in the episode, with options whether you’re sitting still or moving.)
