Description

Ever sent an email you immediately regretted or lost it with your kid over a few tiny things? Nat and Kristen dig into the science of why we go from zero to rage in six seconds flat.

Turns out, it's your amygdala doing its overprotective thing. They share their own flying-off-the-handle moments (stabbed forks, hormonal brain file hunting, family boundary disasters), explain why your brain can't tell the difference between actual danger and someone sending you an ‘as per my previous email’ email, and give you the pause-and-breathe tactics that actually work when you're mid-hijack.
