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
