Ever feel like your heart’s racing before a pitch, your voice cracks during a tough convo, or you just want to scream when your kid won’t put on their shoes? Yeah, same.

This episode is your new emotional reset button.

We’re talking vagus nerve hacks — the real MVP of your nervous system. It’s your biological shortcut to calm, clarity, confidence, and connection whether you're:
1. Pitching in the boardroom
2. Breaking up in a Starbucks parking lot
3. Getting your kids out the door for school
4. Or heading into a first date hoping he doesn’t say, “I live with my emotional support snake, Carl”

From gargling mouthwash in your car to humming Eminem under your breath like a Fortune 500 exec, I’m giving you a cheat code to shift from panic to power — in 60 seconds or less.

You’ll learn:
💡 What the vagus nerve actually does (and why CEOs, FBI agents, and hostage negotiators use it daily)
🧠 How 4-7-8 breathing, cold water, and belly laughs reset your brain and body
🎤 Why Matthew McConaughey’s chest thump in The Wolf of Wall Street is more than a bro-ritual
🚗 How I use a mini bottle of mouthwash before dates to step into feminine flow (yes, really)
👩‍👦‍👦 How humming with my sons secretly regulates their nervous system (and mine too)
💼 How one sales leader used my tip to save a multi-million-dollar account… in the bathroom. With Eminem.

Whether you’re leading a team, raising kids, making million-dollar deals — or just trying not to lose it in traffic — this episode gives you tools to be your own calm.

Ever left a meeting thinking it went great… only to get ghosted?

What if I told you your client’s crossed legs were the first red flag — and you missed it?

In this episode of In the Driver’s Seat, Janine Driver (yep, that’s me — body language expert and corporate trainer to the Fortune 100) breaks down the subtle but powerful body cue that determines if a deal will close… or collapse.

Here’s the game-changing truth:
🦵 When legs cross, deals pause.
🪑 When legs open, decisions happen.

You’ll hear:

• 🧠 The neuroscience behind leg crossing — and why it shuts down logic and dopamine (your deal-making BFFs).
• 🚨 The 4 brain responses triggered by a crossed leg during high-stakes conversations.
• 💰 The $1.8M boardroom moment I nearly blew — and how I turned it around with one brain-based move.
• 🎬 Hollywood scenes that (accidentally) show this in action — from The Pursuit of Happyness to Damages.
• 🔥 5 body-based strategies to reset a stalled conversation and get things flowing again (no manipulation, just science).

Whether you’re leading a sales team, pitching to investors, hiring a new exec, or navigating a tough parenting talk — this episode gives you the keys to decode crossed legs and turn tension into traction.

You’re About to Learn the Real Science Behind Influence
What if your client thinks you're amazing… but never tells a soul about you?
What if your date says you’re “incredible”… but never texts again?

Here’s the truth no one’s teaching: opinions don’t change your business. Beliefs do.
And the science behind that shift? It’s wild.

In this episode, Janine Driver unpacks the neuroscience of how regular people — friends, clients, strangers — go from passive admirers to loud, loyal, ride-or-die fans.

Inside This Brain-Wired Episode:
1. The exact moment an opinion becomes a belief (and what lights up in your brain)
2. Why your brain can’t tell the difference between compliments and cash
3. What made Janine ignore her ex-husband’s restaurant suggestion… but immediately listen to her kids
4. How Woody from Toy Story, Dumbo, and Dumbledore create unshakable belief systems
5. The science of mirror neurons, social prediction errors, and the neural fireworks of insight
6. Three brain-based business boosters
