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.

Take what helps. Leave what doesn’t. And come back whenever you need.

In this episode of Feeling Safe Standing Strong, Bronwyn Clee from The Institute of Hope is joined by Katrina “Trine” Gall to explore emotional fitness, nervous system regulation, and healing after burnout.
Recorded on Kalkadoon Country in Mount Isa, western Queensland, Trine shares her journey from high-pressure hospitality and serious health challenges to deep personal transformation. Together, they reflect on self-trust, intuition, and the shift from survival mode to a more responsive way of living. Trine also shares two practical emotional regulation practices listeners can try to support calm, clarity, and resilience.
