In this powerful and deeply reflective episode of Finally, Me with Essence, Essence records live from the oceanfront in Panama City Beach and opens up a conversation many women struggle to have—learning how to want more after years of surviving.

If you’ve ever felt uncomfortable resting… guilty desiring… or anxious in moments of peace, this episode is for you.

Essence explores:

• How survival mode trains the nervous system to prioritize safety over desire
• Why peace can feel unfamiliar after chronic stress and trauma
• The science behind why the brain stops dreaming in fight-or-flight
• What “wanting more” really means once you begin healing

• Single moms and caregivers who’ve spent years putting themselves last
• Women entering a new season of life and learning how to choose themselves
• Anyone transitioning from survival mode to the soft life

✨ Journal Prompts Featured in This Episode:
