Your brain is built for survival, but you are here to thrive

Our reptile brain is wired to keep us alive.
It scans for threats, imagines the worst-case scenario,
and whispers: “stay small, stay safe.”
That wiring helped our ancestors survive in the wild…
but today it often blocks us from living fully.
We see danger where there is none.
We treat growth, love, or change like a tiger in the grass.
💡 The shift?
Notice the fear. Thank your brain for trying to protect you.
Then remind it: “I’m not in danger. I’m just stepping into something new.”
Because thriving requires a different kind of courage than surviving.
And you already have it.
