If you think you're calm, logical, and in control... neuroscience says otherwise. Your brain scans for threats approximately 4–5 times per second. And if you're not training the pause, you're reinforcing the panic! In Part 2 of this raw and revelatory series, therapist and relational neuroscience expert Juliane Taylor Shore joins Dov Baron to dismantle the myth that change is solely about mindset. If you’ve ever thought: ·       “Why do I keep attracting the same kind of chaos?” ·       “Why do I freeze in moments where I should speak up?” ·       “Why do I feel unsafe… even when everything looks fine?” This episode is your blueprint for breaking that unconscious cycle. Permanently. 🧠 What You’ll Learn (and feel in your nervous system): ·       The Real Reason You’re Reacting, Not Responding: How scanning for threat hijacks your prefrontal cortex (rational brain), and how to take it back. ·       How to Train the Pause (Not Just Hope for It): A somatic gesture practice that rewires reactivity into presence. ·       Self-Compassion Is Not Woo-Woo: Discover the neuroscience behind why compassion, not grit, is your most potent leadership tool. ·       Why Most Boundaries Are Just Rules in Disguise: And how to build neuro-informed boundaries rooted in self-worth, not fear or control. 💥 Dov Gets Personal: You’ll hear Dov’s own gesture, emotional wiring, and the “love surge” moment that brought him to tears mid-show. This isn’t theoretical. This is embodiment. 🔥 This Episode Is for You If: ·       You’re a CEO, leader, or parent who keeps replaying conversations, wondering, “Why did I blow up?” ·       You crave relational depth but keep hitting invisible walls ·       You’ve done the work, but still find yourself fawning, freezing, or raging 💎 Listener Challenge: What’s your pause gesture?
