Ever notice how hard it is to stay angry while smiling?

That’s not willpower, it’s neuroscience.

In this episode, we explore the facial feedback effect and how your facial muscles actively shape your emotions. You’ll learn why smiling sends signals straight to your brain’s emotion centers, how it dampens anger responses, and why your face and brain are locked in a constant feedback loop.

A forced smile won’t magically solve what made you angry, but it can interrupt the emotional surge long enough to regain control and think clearly.

Your face doesn’t just show how you feel.

Sometimes, it decides it.

🧠 Change the signal, change the state.
