About this episode
If you’re doing way too much, running on caffeine and chaos, and low-key spiraling while pretending everything’s fine—this one’s for you.
In this fiery kickoff to Combative Calm, Sarai Speer serves you trauma-informed, nervous-system-soothing affirmations that go way deeper than the fluffy Pinterest bullshit. These affirmations are built for the high-achieving, emotionally fried, exhausted human who’s overdue for a full-body exhale.
What’s Inside:
• A spicy nervous system drop-in (ground your ass in under 60 seconds)
• Somatic cues to get out of your head and back into your body
• 11 bold, punchy affirmations for burnout recovery, rest, and regulation
Perfect for you if:
• You’re a high-functioning overachiever healing from hustle culture
• You feel like rest is failure but your body is begging for it
• You’re tired of mindset advice that ignores trauma and nervous system science
• You want affirmations that make you laugh and cry a little (with some F BOMBS)
