You’ve probably heard me talk about being *wired for love*, but did you know that optimism isn’t just about being positive all the time? That’s not realistic! In this episode, I dive into the science of optimism—how it shapes our brains, boosts resilience, and even improves our health. But here’s the catch: the *right* kind of optimism isn’t just about seeing the bright side—it’s about balancing hope with realism (and yes, even a little bit of pessimism!). I’ll share practical tips to help you develop a mindset that fuels growth, problem-solving, and real success. Let’s find that *Goldilocks* sweet spot together!
