Why is it so hard to feel safe even when you’re no longer in danger?

In this episode of Moonbeaming, Sarah Faith Gottesdiener speaks with somatic healer Ifé Mora about the Nine of Wands archetype and what it means to live in a body that’s been shaped by stress, trauma, and survival. They explore:

The biology of burnout
The impact of chronic stress on the nevous system
How to heal through presence, education, and somatic practice
And powerful tools for regulating the nervous system.

This is an episode for anyone feeling worn out, stuck in survival mode, or ready to rebuild.
