What if your emotions weren't something that happen to you, but something your brain builds—moment by moment, like a custom playlist made from your past? 🎶 This episode dives into the fascinating world of neuroscience with insights from Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett, one of the most groundbreaking thinkers in the field today. 🧬💥

Dr. Barrett's research flips the script on how we understand anxiety, trauma, and even reality itself. Instead of passively reacting to the world, your brain is constantly predicting what's next—using your past to shape your present. Every emotion you feel? It's not hard-wired. It's constructed.

Here’s what we're unpacking:

🔮 How your brain predicts your experience before you're even aware of it

💭 Why understanding "body budgeting" is key to managing stress and mental health

🎭 How trauma isn't "just in your head," but a result of prediction + context

🌍 Why culture shapes your emotional world more than you realize

🛠️ And how you can retrain your brain through new experiences

This episode isn't just about brain science—it's about reclaiming agency. It's about learning how to gently steer the ship of your inner world, not by force, but by understanding the system and designing better inputs.

Whether you're dealing with stress, trying to heal from emotional wounds, or just curious about how your mind actually works, this one's for you. 🎧🧠✨

Hit play and start reshaping your reality—one prediction at a time.
