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 youâre 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 canât 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 stillâŚ
You feel disconnected.
Tense.
Buzzing or blank.
Like thereâs 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 somethingâs missing?
Hereâs the little-known truth:
Youâre not lazy.
Youâre not undisciplined.
Youâre not broken.
Youâre 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?
Theyâre not made for this kind of stuck.
How Do You Know If Youâre Stuck in Survival Mode?
đĽ 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.
Youâre always on edge – like the next threat is just around the corner.
Even if itâs just an email.
đââď¸ Flight
You avoid hard conversations like theyâre 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.
âď¸ Freeze
You shut down mid-sentence.
You stare at your to-do list like itâs 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 wonât open.
You say nothing, do nothing – until the momentâs long gone, and the shame rolls in like a tide you canât stop.
And no one even knows.
Because from the outside? You look âfineâ.
đ§ââď¸ Fawn
You say âyesâ before youâve even heard the question.
You apologize for things that arenât your fault.
You smile when youâre 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 youâŚ
You panic.
You shrink.
Because pleasing people is how you survived.
And now itâs the only way you know how to exist.
đ Collapse
You canât move.
You sleep and sleep and sleep⌠but youâre still exhausted.
You drag yourself through the day like your bloodâs 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 doesnât matter how much you rest.
You still wake up tired.
Because itâs not about sleep.
Itâs about shut down.
Your systemâs not recovering.
Itâs 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 arenât personality traits.
Theyâre not flaws.
Theyâre not character defects.
Theyâre survival patterns your body learned to keep you alive.
Your bodyâs way of saying:
âThe world isnât safe. Youâre not safe. So letâs armor up.â
And they make total sense – until they donât.
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 couldnât name.
Like I was right on the edge of life⌠but couldnât 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.
Itâs 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 baselineâŚ
When your system finally gets the signal that itâs okay to relax…
That itâs okay to come homeâŚ
Thatâs when the survival patterns start to melt.
Thatâs 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 youâve been stuck – no fluff, no hype, just truth youâve never heard before.
Inside, youâll discover:
Why your discipline problem isnât a discipline problem at all – and what it actually is instead
Why your mind wonât shut up – no matter how many hours you meditate
The real reason you canât sleep (hint: itâs 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 isnât 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.
– Logan H
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 đ
Itâs not a âhow to meditateâ course.
Itâs not Nervous System 101.
Itâs not for people still googling âhow to journal.â
Itâs for people whoâve already done the work but still feel stuck.
So if youâveâŚ
- 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 somethingâs missingâŚ
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 isnât about hope.
Itâs not about good vibes or spiritual bypassing.
Itâs about finally understanding whatâs really going on inside you – and doing something that actually works.

If youâre ready to stop fixing…
If youâre ready to feel again…
