Episode Synopsis

Welcome back to the podcast! This week, we’re diving into an essential concept for the new year: moving from defense mode to discovery mode in our brains. I share insights from one of my favorite books, How to Have a Good Day by Caroline Webb, breaking down how our automatic and deliberate systems influence our responses to stress. We’ll explore practical ways to shift out of the fight, flight, or freeze mindset and into a space of curiosity and anticipation for good things. Join me as we unpack how embracing discovery mode can help us live intentionally and create a more rewarding life.
