What if your goals didn’t trigger fear—but safety?
In this episode of Sappy Hour, I sit down with Emily McDonald (@emonthebrain) to explore the neuroscience of success, safety, and rewiring your mind to stop self-sabotage.

We cover:

• Why your nervous system links goals with danger (and how to reprogram it)

• The power of heart rate variability (HRV) and adaptability

• How meditation quiets the default mode network (autopilot)

• Emily’s 3M Morning Routine: Movement, Mindfulness, Mindset

• How to practice creator mode instead of reactive mode

• Using intention & visualization to rewire fear into freedom
