Breaking the Energy of Old Beliefs

From the age of four, Margie was taught that her voice didn’t matter. What began as survival in a home filled with narcissistic, emotional, and sexual abuse evolved into decades of living in freeze and fawn — performing strength while silently drowning.But survival mode wasn’t the end of her story. It was the initiation. In this powerful episode, Margie shares how she transformed her trauma into a path of energetic liberation — mastering modalities like Reiki, Shamanic practices, sound healing, natural law, and Energy for Life coaching. Together, we explore how to recognize when you’re still operating from survival, how to release beliefs that were never yours, and how to reconnect to your body’s innate wisdom.

Highlights:

  • How survival mode hides behind high-functioning chaos
  • Understanding flight, freeze, and fawn in real life
  • When therapy isn’t enough: discovering energy medicine
  • The Law of Polarity and how it reshapes healing
  • The role of forgiveness and natural law in trauma recovery
  • Why healing alone is a myth — and community is medicine
  • How to challenge the belief systems that keep you small

🎙️ What We Talk About

  • Early childhood trauma and the roots of fawn behavior
  • The energetic impact of abuse on the body and nervous system
  • The power of Reiki, sound, and energy frequency in trauma release
  • Why control kills intuition and how to rebuild trust in yourself
  • The myth of perfection — and learning to live in rhythm instead
  • Practical ways to integrate spiritual healing into everyday life
  • Releasing inherited belief systems that keep you bound


🔑 Key Takeaways

“You are not who you were in survival mode. That version of you was protecting you.”
“Control isn’t power — it’s fear dressed in productivity.”
“Healing isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about remembering who you were before the world told you to forget.”
“Perfection is an illusion. Presence is the real peace.”

About the Podcast

Survival Mode Disrupted with Leticia R Francis
Disruptive Unapologetic Conversations about Survival Mode
Survival Mode Disrupted is not just a podcast. It's a rebellion.

A raw, unfiltered space where we finally stop pretending we're fine and start telling the truth—the truth about the trauma we've carried, the identities they had to wear to survive, and the radical decisions we made to break free.

Because here's the deal: survival mode isn’t just a season. It’s a damn identity. One that so many were forced to adopt just to get through life, to stay safe, to stay needed, to stay sane. But eventually, it starts costing you more than it protects. Your peace. Your purpose. Your power.

This podcast is for the disruptors—the people who were told to stay small, stay silent, stay grateful for crumbs… and said “hell no.”

Hosted by Leticia, The Survival Mode Disruptor herself—a trauma recovery mentor, speaker, and woman who has lived through the fires of abuse, betrayal, and breakdown and still chose to rise—this show dives deep into the unapologetic exits from survival mode that no one talks about.

You’ll hear from women (and a few brave men) who walked away from toxic relationships, soul-sucking careers, generational dysfunction, religious trauma, cultural expectations, and the lies they were taught to believe about themselves. Not because it was easy—but because staying would’ve killed something sacred inside of them.

These are the stories of bold pivots, quiet courage, and messy but miraculous rebirths.

Each episode is a conversation—a disruption—meant to wake something up in you. Whether it’s a guest sharing the moment they chose themselves for the first time, or Leticia dropping a truth bomb that makes you question everything you’ve normalized, this podcast is here to shake the foundation of your survival mode identity and replace it with something truer. Something freer.

We’re not here for surface-level self-care tips or fake empowerment slogans.

We’re here to talk about what it really takes to:

Reclaim your voice after being silenced.

Reinvent yourself after being broken down.

Rewrite your story when everyone else wants you to stay the same.

Release the guilt of choosing YOU.

This is for those who are done performing. Done pleasing. Done pretending.

It’s for the ones ready to exit survival mode—not slowly, not quietly, but disruptively and unapologetically.

You won’t leave this podcast the same.
You’ll cry. You’ll rage. You’ll laugh.
You’ll see yourself in every story.
And more importantly, you’ll remember who the hell you are.

Welcome to Survival Mode Disrupted.
It’s not just a podcast.
It’s a movement.
And your exit begins here.
