https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/slightly-un-traumatized--7437768Welcome to Slightly Un-Traumatized—the low-pressure podcast for anyone navigating adult life while managing a nervous system that stays on high alert.
Hosted by someone who is definitely not a wellness guru, this show is about making sense of childhood baggage, hyper-vigilance, and weird coping mechanisms—without taking ourselves too seriously. We are here to figure out why our adult brains keep running old survival updates and how to step off autopilot one micro-moment at a time.
What to expect:
Real Talk: Honest, down-to-earth conversations about people-pleasing, dissociation, hyper-independence, and emotional weather-checking.
Grounded Tools: Practical micro-practices and "age check-ins" for when your adult self needs to soothe your panicked inner kid.
Zero Judgment: A space to laugh at the chaotic reality of healing in real time.
What you won't find here:
❌ $300 crystal-infused water bottles
❌ Demands to "just let it go" or meditate away your fight-or-flight response
❌ Toxic positivity or pedestal preaching
Unclench your jaw, drop those shoulders down three inches from your ears, take a slow breath, and hit Follow to join the community. Let's re-parent the mess and figure this out together.]]>enSelf-ImprovementCopyright Calley Merkelhttps://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/f61dc9de9f88925991016323201e10c8.jpghttps://www.spreaker.com/podcast/slightly-un-traumatized--7437768Mon, 05 Oct 2026 17:23:04 +0000Calley MerkelCalley Merkelfeeds@spreaker.comHave you ever had someone close a kitchen cabinet just a little too hard, or reply to your text message with a period instead of an exclamation point—and suddenly your heart rate hits 140 BPM because your brain assumes everyone is secretly furious...Welcome to Slightly Un-Traumatized—the low-pressure podcast for anyone navigating adult life while managing a nervous system that stays on high alert.
