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. LET'S ROCK!
