The Science Behind Why You Stay Stuck - Kristin Rivas | #31`
<p>What if you're not lazy—but your brain has simply learned the wrong patterns? In this episode, Kristin explains why anxiety, procrastination, and self-sabotage are often conditioned responses rather than character flaws. We explore why traditional self-improvement advice often misses the mark, how neuroplasticity allows us to rewire the brain, and practical techniques to overcome limiting behaviors and create lasting change. If you've ever wondered why knowing what to do isn't enough to actually change, this conversation is for you.</p><p>Kristin is a certified hypnotherapist, brain health coach, and founder of HypnoWellness. After overcoming PTSD following the tragic loss of her sister, Kristin dedicated her career to understanding how the subconscious mind and nervous system shape our behaviors. For over 16 years, she has helped high performers break free from the hidden patterns keeping them stuck.</p><p>Kristan Socials:</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.kristinrivas.com/about">https://www.kristinrivas.com/about</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/kristin.rivas/?hl=en">https://www.instagram.com/kristin.rivas/?hl=en</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://tedxseattle.com/speakers/kristin-rivas/">https://tedxseattle.com/speakers/kristin-rivas/</a></p><p></p><p>Reach Out: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/rishikurada/">https://www.instagram.com/rishikurada/</a></p><p></p><p>Intro Song Credits: Song: Cartoon, Jéja - On & On (feat.

How to Deal With Uncertainty (Without Overthinking Everything) - Elizabeth Weingarten | #30
<p>What if the questions keeping you up at night aren’t problems to solve — but invitations to grow? In this episode, Elizabeth Weingarten unpacks why humans crave certainty, how that craving can quietly lead us toward the wrong answers, and why some of life’s biggest questions around success, identity, and relationships, are not meant to be solved quickly. We explore the danger of constantly chasing certainty, the connection between anxiety and the future, and why discomfort comes from trying to force control over the uncontrollables. Whether you’re overwhelmed by big life decisions, anxious about the future, or struggling to define success for yourself, this episode offers a grounded and powerful way to stop fearing uncertainty — and start living your questions.</p><p>Elizabeth Weingarten is a journalist and applied behavioral scientist who works at the intersection of science and storytelling. She has worked with outlets including CNN, Harvard Business Review, and Time, and has led research programs across the nation. She is the author of How to Fall in Love with Questions, a book about navigating uncertainty, meaning, and purpose in a world obsessed with quick answers.</p><p>Elizabeth Socials:</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.elizabethweingarten.com/">https://www.elizabethweingarten.com/</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabeth-weingarten/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabeth-weingarten/</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://timetravelforbeginners.substack.com/">https://timetravelforbeginners.substack.com/</a></p><p>BOOK: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/how-to-fall-in-love-with-questions-elizabeth-weingarten/1146052523">https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/how-to-fall-in-love-with-questions-elizabeth-weingarten/1146052523</a></p><p>Reach Out: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/rishikurada/">https://www.instagram.com/rishikurada/</a></p><p>Intro Song Credits: Song: Cartoon, Jéja - On & On (feat.

How to Deal With Anxious Thoughts - Dr. Andrew Blackwood | #29
<p>What if anxiety isn’t a flaw — but a misunderstood response to the way your mind imagines the future? In this episode, Dr. Andrew Blackwood breaks down what anxiety actually is, why your body reacts to thoughts as if they’re real, and how specific thought patterns quietly fuel overthinking, spirals, and self-doubt. We explore why anxiety can sometimes protect you — and when it starts to hijack your life. Dr. Blackwood introduces the ATI process (Awareness, Tolerance, Intention) and unpacks the most common anxiety-producing thought patterns. You’ll learn practical exit strategies for each pattern alongside how to calm your nervous system before changing your thoughts. Whether you struggle with overthinking, self-criticism, or feeling stuck in your own head, this episode offers a clear framework to understand why you feel anxious — and how to respond with clarity, compassion, and control.</p><p>Dr. Andrew L. Blackwood Known as Coach Drew, is a mental health professional who has worked as a psychotherapist, family clinician, and marriage and family therapist. Drawing from both personal experience and professional practice, Dr. Blackwood helps people build emotional resilience, self-awareness, and healthier inner lives.</p><p>Coach Drew Socials:</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://coachdrew.ca/">https://coachdrew.ca/</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/coachdrewcan/?hl=en">https://www.instagram.com/coachdrewcan/?hl=en</a></p><p>BOOK 📚: The Art of a Genuine Apology</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.com/Art-Genuine-Apology-significant-relationships/dp/1775054802">https://www.amazon.com/Art-Genuine-Apology-significant-relationships/dp/1775054802</a></p><p>Reach Out: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/rishikurada/">https://www.instagram.com/rishikurada/</a> </p><p>Intro Song Credits: Song: Cartoon, Jéja - On & On (feat.
