S3E12: It's not a Real Lion - Return to Baseline

The Latitude Adjustment: Positive Change Podcast Awards Hall of Fame inductee and American Writing Awards Podcast of the Year.

This is your Season 3 finale safari into what happens when life finally calms down… and your body doesn’t believe it yet. From the breathtaking (and brutal) reality of the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania, Erica and Rusty Harrison unpack why humans don’t “return to grazing” the way animals do—because our nervous systems can stay activated by imagined threats, replayed danger, and the habit of scanning for what could go wrong. You’ll learn why calm can feel unsafe after long seasons of chaos, how adrenaline can masquerade as purpose, and what to do when peace triggers restlessness, irritability, or the urge to manufacture a new emergency. Plus, you’ll get a simple 10-minute daily practice—“Crater Time”—to retrain your system to recognize safety and rebuild a baseline where meaning doesn’t require an emergency.
