Your amygdala doesn't know the difference between a tiger and a deadline.

Dr. Sushma Manda breaks down the neuroscience behind why you snap, shut down, and can't switch off.

You are not a bad parent. You are not a weak leader. You are not broken.

You are a highly intelligent human being whose threat detection system has been running on high alert for so long that emergency has become your baseline.

In this episode, Dr. Sushma Manda goes deep into the neuroscience of high achiever burnout. The amygdala, the prefrontal cortex suppression, and the three gears of your nervous system, ventral vagal, sympathetic, and dorsal vagal, explained in plain language with real examples from medical culture, immigrant households, and founder life.

If you have ever snapped at someone you love and could not explain why, this episode is for you.

Topics covered: amygdala hijack, polyvagal theory, fight or flight, dorsal vagal shutdown, nervous system baseline, emotional regulation, prefrontal cortex.
