Former news anchor and media trainer Lynn Smith joins Dr. Don Wood to unpack how unresolved trauma and self-doubt—what Lynn calls the “brain bully”—can sabotage high performance.

They discuss how childhood experiences shape our beliefs, how vulnerability is a superpower for authentic connection, and what it really takes to break trauma loops that limit growth. Lynn opens up about overcoming panic attacks and how she now helps others show up with confidence and clarity—on and off camera.
