    In this episode, we unpack the real-life experience of waking up with anxiety—and how living with CPTSD can turn mornings into the hardest part of the day. You’ll hear why your body and brain might default to “danger mode” before you even open your eyes, and how gentle routines, grounding techniques, and self-compassion can start to shift your mornings from chaos to calm. Listener stories, science-backed tools, and honest conversation create a space where you’re not alone in your struggle—and where hope is more than just a buzzword. If mornings have ever felt impossible, this episode will give you permission to go slow, to choose kindness over criticism, and to try one small thing tomorrow that might just make all the difference.
