Strength isn’t about acting unbothered — that’s Force (aka pretending your nervous system is a tank).

Real Strength lives in your Power Core: the part of your nervous system that can feel feelings, stay present, and still make choices without spiraling.

In this episode we get into queer strength, nervous system science, and the five archetypes that show up in the wild: the Stoic Masc Rock, the Femme Therapist Friend, the Poly Switchboard, the Masked ND Gremlin, and the Chosen Family Parent. If you know, you know.

We’re talking polyvagal basics, somatic tools, and real-world emotional regulation — delivered with the clarity of a therapist, the chill of Snoop, and the honesty of Cardi. Zero woo-woo, zero performative “resilience,” just practical psychology for people who have lived through some things.

You’ll learn:

• the difference between Force vs Power
• how Freeze masquerades as “calm”
• why queer strength gets misread as “resilience”
• how to check your voltage (capacity)
• how to name sensations (not stories)
• how to use power language to set boundaries
• why co-regulation is actual strength

If you’ve ever been labeled “strong” while quietly falling apart, this episode will make your nervous system feel seen.
