If you’ve done everything right and still feel stuck, this is for you

You’re not broken. You’re just stuck in survival mode.

Hit play below to hear the audio version of this page, narrated by yours truly.

You wake up and you’re already tense.

Not panicked. Not spiraling.

Just… on edge.

The second you open your eyes, you have to move.

Do something. Fix something. Escape something you can’t name.

So you journal like your life depends on it.

You meditate. You gratitude list. You breathe. You cold plunge.

You try.

You try so fucking hard.

And still…

You feel disconnected.

Tense.

Buzzing or blank.

Like there’s something off that no one can quite explain.

It’s like living life in black and white.

Not colorblind exactly – just… muted.

As if joy is a rumor.

Like you’re alive, but not really.

And that’s after doing so much bloody work on yourself.

The question is…

Why the hell do you still feel like something’s missing?

Here’s the little-known truth:

You’re not lazy.

You’re not undisciplined.

You’re not broken.

You’re just running an old nervous system pattern no one ever taught you how to escape:

Survival mode (fight, flight, freeze, fawn, or collapse).

Not because you failed…

Not because you’re broken…

Not because something’s wrong with you…

…but because bad things happened in the past, and those bad things never got resolved.

What about the usual self-help tools?

They’re not made for this kind of stuck.

How Do You Know If You’re Stuck in Survival Mode?

🔥 Fight

You snap over nothing.

Someone chews too loud, and you want to flip the table.

You pick fights with your partner just to release the pressure in your chest.

You talk over people, dominate conversations, get off on being right.

Then you hate yourself after.

You storm out, slam the door, then pace for hours, trapped in the adrenaline.

Your jaw is tight. Your fists clench. Your brain races.

You’re always on edge – like the next threat is just around the corner.

Even if it’s just an email.

🏃‍♂️ Flight

You avoid hard conversations like they’re death.

You ghost friends, leave jobs, end relationships – not because you want to, but because staying feels like suffocating.

You move countries to escape the pressure – then feel the exact same two weeks later.

You overwork. Overcommit. Always planning the next move.

Because slowing down? That feels dangerous.

You confuse rest with laziness.

And anytime things get too real, too close, too still… you find the nearest exit.

❄️ Freeze

You shut down mid-sentence.

You stare at your to-do list like it’s written in a foreign language.

You scroll for hours, numb, not even enjoying it.

You dissociate during conversations – nodding, smiling, but not really there.

When shit hits the fan, you go silent.

Your brain empties. Your mouth won’t open.

You say nothing, do nothing – until the moment’s long gone, and the shame rolls in like a tide you can’t stop.

And no one even knows.

Because from the outside? You look “fine”.

🧎‍♂️ Fawn

You say “yes” before you’ve even heard the question.

You apologize for things that aren’t your fault.

You smile when you’re dying inside.

You morph into whoever they need you to be – because rejection feels like death.

You try to earn love. Approval. Belonging.

And when someone finally sees the real you…

You panic.

You shrink.

Because pleasing people is how you survived.

And now it’s the only way you know how to exist.

🛑 Collapse

You can’t move.

You sleep and sleep and sleep… but you’re still exhausted.

You drag yourself through the day like your blood’s been replaced with lead.

Your limbs are heavy. Your mind is fog.

Even the simplest task – responding to a text, brushing your teeth – feels like climbing a fucking mountain.

And it doesn’t matter how much you rest.

You still wake up tired.

Because it’s not about sleep.

It’s about shut down.

Your system’s not recovering.

It’s collapsing.

You cancel plans. You isolate. You numb out.

And you hate yourself for it.

You used to dream. Now you barely remember what wanting felt like.

The good news is that these aren’t personality traits.

They’re not flaws.

They’re not character defects.

They’re survival patterns your body learned to keep you alive.

Your body’s way of saying:

“The world isn’t safe. You’re not safe. So let’s armor up.”

And they make total sense – until they don’t.

Until they start killing your joy, your drive, your peace, your life.

I know this because I lived it.

I meditated every day for a decade.

Tripped in the jungle.

Journals. Ice baths. Gratitude. Fasts. Microdoses.

I did it all.

And still… I felt off.

Like I was chasing something I couldn’t name.

Like I was right on the edge of life… but couldn’t get in.

That is, until I discovered nervous system work – and everything changed.

That’s where Rageheart comes in.

Here at Rageheart, you’ll discover a method for getting your nervous system out of survival mode and into rest, connection, and calm.

It’s not therapy, breathwork or mindset coaching.

It’s not meditation or yoga.

It’s nervous system training – where you build your capacity to feel and restore safety to every level of your system.

You discover how to work with your body – instead of against it.

With short daily practices that retrain your system to feel, regulate, and finally… relax.

Not by thinking differently.

Not by breathing hard or journaling deep.

Not by meditating every day with the latest app.

But by learning how to feel safe – again.

Because when safety becomes your baseline…

When your system finally gets the signal that it’s okay to relax…

That it’s okay to come home…

That’s when the survival patterns start to melt.

That’s when the real shift begins.

Does it work?

Gayla seems to think so:

I have spent 30 years trying every meditation technique out there and nothing has helped me like The Rageheart Academy and The Rumble has over the last five months. (not years)!!

How to get started

Start with the 7-part email series below.

Each email is short, sharp, and speaks straight to where you’ve been stuck – no fluff, no hype, just truth you’ve never heard before.

Inside, you’ll discover:

Why your discipline problem isn’t a discipline problem at all – and what it actually is instead

Why your mind won’t shut up – no matter how many hours you meditate

The real reason you can’t sleep (hint: it’s not your blue light habits)

The shocking way survival mode shows up in relationships, work, and sex

What a drugged-out mushroom cult taught me about nervous system health

What I learned after being told I was too dangerous to be healed

What if your productivity problems are actually trauma responses?

How disconnection becomes a lifestyle – and how to reverse it

Why your emotions go missing in action – and how to get them back.

How healing isn’t about fixing yourself – but remembering who you are

Here’s what Logan said about the Rageheart approach:

It was definitely harder than I expected, but once I got used to it…

It silenced my mind like never before.

Kind of like doing 3 different meditations at once.

Will continue practicing and waiting for rageheart to open.

Who is this for?

Despite the amazing benefits…

Rageheart is not for the faint of heart.

It’s not always easy.

Or fun.

Or fast.

You might feel worse before you feel better…

…and it might even be one of the hardest things you’ve ever done.

So –

Rageheart isn’t for beginners 😏

It’s not a “how to meditate” course.

It’s not Nervous System 101.

It’s not for people still googling “how to journal.”

It’s for people who’ve already done the work but still feel stuck.

So if you’ve…

  • Meditated until your legs went numb
  • Tripped in the jungle
  • Smashed pillows, screamed into them, then wrote poetry about it
  • Breathed, fasted, cold-plunged, and journaled your fucking soul out

And still feel like something’s missing…

Rageheart is for you.

It’s amazing what can happen if we just listen to our bodies:

My life for the past two years has been in nervous system over function and burnout. Suicidal? Yes, I’ve had those thoughts.

Only by doing your Rageheart Academy has my nervous system calmed down enough to allow functioning at a level not known for decades.

I cannot thank you enough for you, for what you have been through in life, and your intellect to create a program for me to get my life back on track.

I stand in awe of what can happen if we just listen to our bodies.

– Maria W

This isn’t about hope.

It’s not about good vibes or spiritual bypassing.

It’s about finally understanding what’s really going on inside you – and doing something that actually works.

So if you’re ready to stop spinning…

If you’re ready to stop fixing

If you’re ready to feel again…
