Survival Mode Disrupted with Leticia R Francis30 Juni 2025

This Is What I’ve Been Preparing You For

In this raw and soul-shaking episode of Survival Mode Disrupted, Cristina shares the kind of story that makes you stop, breathe, and believe again. From an abusive childhood to the unimaginable grief of losing three children, facing her husband’s infidelity, and surviving a rare form of bone cancer—Cristina takes us through every dark corner and shows us what it means to fight for light.

Highlights:

💔 The silent impact of verbal abuse growing up
🕊️ Grieving three children and the power of unprocessed pain
🧠 Living 20 years in survival mode—and finally waking up
🦴 Her bone cancer journey and facing possible amputation
🔥 The trauma personas we don’t realize we wear (fixer, pleaser, perfectionist)
🙌 Rebuilding her marriage and learning radical self-love
💬 Letting go of relationships that trigger your trauma

🎙️ What We Talk About:

The trauma of living in fight or flight from childhood
How unresolved grief shows up in the body
The gut-punch moment of being diagnosed with cancer after a string of tragedies
Survival mode coping vs. healing-centered action
The painful process of releasing friendships that no longer align
How trauma impacts your identity and relationships
Finding purpose in pain and reclaiming your voice

🔑 Key Takeaways:“You can make tragedy beautiful—and help someone else with what you’ve been through.”“Healing began when I realized I couldn’t fix everyone else until I fixed me.”“We repeat what we don’t repair. Survival mode becomes a lifestyle if you let it.”“It took nearly losing my leg to realize I get to live. I get to try again.”
🙌 Why This Episode Matters:

This episode isn’t about surviving. It’s about choosing yourself—even when life throws you its worst. Cristina’s story will break you open in the best way. She reminds us that healing doesn’t happen by accident—it’s a radical, daily decision. If you’ve ever doubted your ability to reclaim your life, this is your wake-up call.
