Listen "Rebuilding Hope After a Career Disruption"
Episode Synopsis
Hey Creative! In this episode, we explore why losing hope during a career setback isn’t a moral failure — it’s a neurobiological response to stress, uncertainty, and emotional overwhelm. We'll break down:• what’s happening beneath the surface after a career setback• how dopamine dips can make the future feel foggy• how the brain often mistakes “unfamiliar” for “unsafe”• 3 science-based strategies to rebuild hope again!This episode offers science-backed tools to gently shift your brain out of survival mode and back into creativity, imagination, and forward momentum — reminding you that hope isn’t something you either have or don’t. It’s something your brain can learn to regenerate.
