Breaking Free from Survival Mode: A Life Coach's Guide to Managing Stress and Overcoming Unhealthy Habits

Priorities on Purpose: Eliminate Distractions, Find Your Focus, and Grow With Jesus

In this episode of Priorities on Purpose, host and life coach Melissa Batt explores the concept of "survival mode"—a common coping mechanism during stressful or traumatic times. While survival mode can be crucial in emergencies, it often leads to unhealthy long-term habits when it becomes a default way of living. Melissa sheds light on how habits like excessive social media scrolling, binge-watching, overworking, and emotional eating serve as temporary distractions from deeper emotional issues.

Melissa highlights the importance of recognizing these habits and adopting healthier strategies to manage stress and find true healing. By addressing these patterns, listeners can align more closely with the fulfilling life they are meant to lead.

Feeling stuck in survival mode and ready to make a change? Melissa offers complimentary consultations to discuss how her coaching can support your transformation journey.

Coaching with Melissa is a six-month commitment, including weekly 1-on-1 calls focused on personal growth, accountability, and actionable results. Saying YES to yourself and this partnership could be the key to a significant breakthrough!
