  • Friction with Others (Part 2) | Ep. 7 | Friction to Freedom Podcast with Janet D Thomas
    May 13 2025

    Ever find yourself asking, “Why am I like this?”

    In this episode, we dive into how the brain creates internal prediction scripts—automated patterns of thought, behavior, and emotional response that shape how we experience the world and others.

    You’ll learn: – How your brain physically rewires itself based on repetition

    – Why we default to certain reactions, even when they no longer serve us

    – What happens when someone or something throws us a curveball

    – And how to gently begin noticing (and interrupting) the patterns that run in the background of your life

    This isn’t just theory—it’s the foundation of emotional clarity, healing, and sustainable change.

    Because once you understand your scripts, you can stop living on autopilot… and start living on purpose.

  • Reframing Your "Lemons"
    Apr 22 2025

    This episode opens the door to thinking differently about the parts of life that didn’t go the way you hoped — the moments that felt like setbacks, shame, or silence. You’re invited to consider how those experiences may still be living in your body, shaping how you move through the world today.

    Together, we explore:

    • How your connection to past experiences — the “lemons” — might be quietly influencing your present.

    • The role of the nervous system, especially the freeze response, and how it can feel like being stuck, invisible, or out of reach from your own life.

    • The idea of shifting your internal relationship to these moments, not to rehash them, but to create space for something softer — like self-compassion or curiosity.

    This isn’t about fixing anything. It’s about noticing. About offering yourself a different lens. And maybe even a little relief.
