Dr. Ellen Hendriksen reveals how social anxiety convinces us we're being judged and why that’s usually a lie. She outlines the four ways it shows up, how avoidance wires it deeper, and the subtle difference between being introverted and being afraid. We unpack the role of perfectionism, how to turn outward when anxiety pulls you in, and why real change happens when you stop waiting to feel ready. It starts by living as the person you’re becoming.

Emily Balcetis breaks down how the way we see the world, literally and psychologically, can either pull us toward our goals or push us further from them. We explore how narrowing focus changes motivation, why perception often overrides reality, and how to train your mind to see opportunities instead of obstacles. If you’ve ever felt stuck, scattered, or unsure of the way forward, this conversation reframes how progress really works and how successful people see what others miss.

Norman Farb breaks down why our identities are built more by sensation than story. We explore how mindfulness reshapes the brain, why chronic pain is often a narrative loop, and how tuning into our internal signals might be the key to better relationships, emotional resilience, and even decision-making. If you've ever felt stuck in your own patterns, this episode challenges the idea that change starts with thought. It starts with what you feel.
