There’s a special kind of fear when you’re in pain and far from home—no language, no map, no one truly seeing you. In this episode, I share a recent health scare in Riga and the deeper lesson it surfaced: when our nervous system is on high alert, we don’t need more instructions… we need to feel held. You’ll hear the story, the moment I realised I was craving safety—not solutions—and a simple 3-step practice to find steadiness without reaching for a drink: Name the PART that’s scared. Find the holding energy (person, memory, space). From SELF, choose the next best move. If Safety is one of the six STRIVE needs, this episode is your reminder that it’s an inside job—amplified by the people and spaces that can hold you in the storm. We’ll close with a Daily Vow you can carry into your day.
