What if your smartest decisions depend on feelings you’ve been told to ignore? We unpack the story of Elliot, the famous neuroscience case that kept IQ intact but erased emotion...and with it, the ability to choose. From there, we map how stress, resentment, and fear wire the body for survival and tunnel vision, while gratitude, curiosity, and courage shift your biology toward growth, clarity, and connection. The goal is not to suppress feelings; it’s to lead them so your choices line up with what matters most.

Along the way, we share real-life moments that show how fast a reframe can change outcomes: a freeway mishap that becomes gratitude, a pricey trailer dent that becomes a memory, and a smashed thumb turned into a lesson in curiosity. We dig into emotional energy and why we synchronize to the people around us, then show how mantras, breath, and simple rituals re-anchor charged topics like money. You’ll learn three practical tools to use today: the 90-second rule for emotional surges, name-it-to-tame-it to recruit the prefrontal cortex, and curiosity to turn heat into information you can use.

If you’ve been stuck in decision fatigue, regret loops, or the habit of bracing for the crash after a win, this conversation offers a steady path back to center. Expect a blend of neuroscience, everyday stories, and steps you can practice on the spot to expand your window of tolerance and keep your best self online under pressure. Tune in, try one tool during your next spike, and tell us what changed. If this helped, follow the show, share it with a friend who leads with heart, and leave a review so more people can find it.
