EPISODE DESCRIPTION:

Your anxiety is lying to you.

And every time you believe it, you're choosing fear over your life.

In this first episode, Gene Kang and neuroplasticity specialist Amina Zamani break down why your brain screams "DANGER" when you're scrolling Instagram. Why it freaks out when you're perfectly safe. And what the hell to do about it.

You'll learn the exact technique—backed by UCLA research—that stops anxiety in 10 seconds. You'll hear how one leader went from terrified of public speaking to raising $50 million. And you'll get the 21-day challenge that rewires your brain for good.

This isn't therapy. It's not meditation. It's neuroscience you can use right now.

In this episode:

• Why your brain prioritizes safety over happiness (and how to override it)
• The "Name It to Tame It" method that shuts down your fear center instantly
• Guilt vs. shame: the difference that's been keeping you stuck your whole life
• One question that gets to the root of any anxiety in seconds
• The hand-on-heart reset you can do anywhere, anytime

If you're tired of your anxiety running your life, this episode is for you.

WHAT TO DO RIGHT NOW:

1. Google this: "top 10 emotions list" and print it out
2. Tomorrow morning: Before you check your phone, name how you're feeling
3. When anxiety hits: Put your hand on your heart. Close your eyes. Ask yourself: "What am I actually feeling right now? What's underneath that?"
4. Commit to 21 days. That's it. Three weeks of naming your emotions and your brain starts to rewire.

The technique is simple. You just have to decide to do it.

SHARE THIS IF:

• You know someone stuck in overthinking loops
• You want proof that your brain can actually change
