Have you ever felt that sudden rush of heat in your face — like your body is betraying you?

In this episode, I'm breaking down what’s actually happening when you blush, why it’s connected to your adrenal response, and how to return to a calm state quickly.

You’ll learn:

*What triggers blushing (and why it’s often emotional, not physical)

*The science behind your body’s redness and heat response

*How the adrenal glands and fight-or-flight system play a role

*Practical ways to regulate your nervous system in real time

*How to reframe your relationship with blushing so it no longer controls you

This isn’t about hiding who you are — it’s about understanding your body, calming your mind, and building self-trust.
