Mid-Life Reclamation Chronicles: When the Dream Arrives… and You Glitch Out: Upper Limits, Nervous System Sabotage

Why your body freaks out when you finally get what you asked for

 

• It’s not lazy, it’s loaded: Karen opens with the myth of the “lazy days of summer” and how midlife is anything but—especially when you’re managing multiple people’s needs and navigating your own evolution in real time.

• The 2025 energy shift is real: She reflects on how spiritual teachers, psychologists, and mindset leaders are all noticing a universal sense of “shedding,” awakening, and identity redefinition.

• Receiving what you’ve prayed for can rattle your nervous system: A surprising personal example—her husband suddenly offering her a 6-week solo Airbnb work trip to Scottsdale (a long-held dream)—triggers unexpected anxiety, fear, and suspicion… even though it’s everything she wanted.

• The freeze/fawn sabotage loop: She dives into how even “good” things can send you into a nervous system shutdown if you haven’t expanded enough to hold them. You might fawn, freeze, or ghost the opportunity completely.

• Human Design as a recalibration tool: Karen discusses how knowing your energetic blueprint helps you make soul-aligned choices instead of survival-based ones. Especially crucial in midlife when the emotional scoreboard is crystal clear.

• Nervous system signs you’re glitching:

  • Clenched fists in your sleep

  • Over-functioning to avoid conflict

  • Equating “peace” with “absence of tension”

  • Internalizing disappointment as your fault

  • Feeling tired after big wins

• Big concept: "Your nervous system is programmed for safety, not greatness." You have to intentionally prepare for the arrival of what you say you want—otherwise your system will short-circuit to keep you ‘safe.’

• Practical reframe: Use visualization, tapping, prayer, and mindset tools to pre-experience your dream outcomes so your body doesn’t freak out when they arrive.

• quote-worthy insight:

“The dream showed up on my doorstep... and I glitched out. That’s how I knew I wasn’t as expanded as I thought I was.”
