43. The Subtle Danger of an ‘Okay’ Life

Feeling stuck in a life that’s “fine” but far from fulfilling?

Today Alicia explores a sneaky, normalised trap so many of us fall into: the “okay” life. No crisis, no chaos, just… tolerable. But under the surface? A quiet ache. A longing for more.

We dive into:
✨ How living in survival mode masks itself as "calm"
✨ Subtle signs you’re settling (and how to gently wake up)
✨ Why mediocrity feels safe and how to shift without burnout
✨ Practices to reconnect with your joy, creativity, and inner fire

This episode is not about pushing or performing. It’s about remembering that you are allowed to want more and that more doesn’t have to cost your peace.

If you’ve ever said “It’s not that bad,” but still feel numb, restless, or unfulfilled… press play. You’ll walk away with grounded insight, nervous-system-aware tools, and a gentle nudge toward a life that feels radiant, not just regulated.

🧠 Perfect for listeners interested in: nervous system healing, somatics, self-regulation, slow living, trauma-informed growth, authenticity, embodiment, and living on purpose.
