About this listen

Anxiety: Your Brain's Unnecessary Side Quest

This week I'm diving into the chaotic garden of your nervous system—where anxiety grows like weeds despite your best efforts. I'll break down why your brain keeps sounding false alarms and how to speak its primitive language.

I'll explore why your trauma responses are showing up to meetings they weren't invited to, and how techniques like the Temporal Context Shift and Anxiety Budget can help you regain control without the spiritual bypass nonsense.

Science meets stoicism in this no-bullshit guide to emotional regulation. Learn why Marcus Aurelius would have made an excellent neuroscientist and how to reframe your thoughts without sugarcoating reality.

This isn't about eliminating anxiety—it's about understanding the evolutionary glitch that makes your brain think every email is a predator. Come get the tools to stop wasting energy on imaginary tigers and reclaim your mental territory. Your amygdala won't like it, but your prefrontal cortex will thank you.
