Feeling Safe & Standing Strong
Feeling tense, reactive, overwhelmed, or like you’re carrying more than you need to? Feeling Safe Standing Strong is about the small things that can help us feel safer, steadier and more able to navigate the messy business of being human.
If you’re looking for practical, plain English ways to understand your nervous system, have kinder and clearer conversations with yourself and others, and feel a little more settled in your own skin, you’re in the right place.
Each episode brings together body-based practices, real conversations and simple frameworks you can actually use in the moments that matter. At work. At home. In relationships. When a conversation gets hard. When the day gets heavy. Or in those quiet moments when you simply need to come back to yourself.
No jargon. No pressure. Nothing that requires a psychology degree to understand.
These aren’t tools you have to master. They’re small things to notice, practise and return to. And the more familiar they become, the more likely they are to show up when you need them.
Hosted by Bronwyn Clee, Trauma Responsive Psychosocial Coach and Educator and Co-Founder of The Institute of Hope, in partnership with Protective Behaviours International.
Full transcripts available.
Take what helps. Leave what doesn’t. And come back whenever you need.

Our Safety Legacy
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What we practise today shapes the safety we pass on to others. In this final episode of the season, we reflect on the idea of a “safety legacy” and how small choices, habits, and ways of relating, can ripple forward to impact families, workplaces, and communities.
Safety is both a personal right and a collective responsibility.
Somatic Practices in this episode:
- Anchor Object Ritual — choosing an object that reminds you of safety and using it to ground yourself.
- Desk Reset — a short, practical sequence to release tension and reset during your day.
(You’ll hear both guided in the episode. They can be used at work, home, or on the go.)
