In this episode, we break down the real neuroscience behind anxiety, avoidance, procrastination, and the Sunday Scaries — and give you practical tools to interrupt the patterns your brain keeps running on autopilot. You’ll finally understand what your brain is doing, why it’s doing it, and how to retrain it.

By the end of this episode, you’ll walk away knowing:

  • Why your brain predicts the worst
  • How dopamine actually drives avoidance
  • Why Sundays hit so hard
  • How the threat circuit, DMN, and executive network shape procrastination
  • Why your brain is doing this and how to use these tools to retrain it.
