Listen Later

Do you find yourself drawn to drama, overthinking, or trying to control everything around you? You're not alone — and your brain isn't broken. In this episode, we explore why the brain becomes addicted to negative emotions like drama, worry, and control, and how these patterns actually feel like safety to the nervous system.

You'll learn:

  • The neuroscience behind emotional addiction — why your brain seeks predictable over calm

  • How drama, control, worry, and fixing can hijack your nervous system

  • The real cost of these patterns on your relationships, energy, and peace of mind

  • Practical, science-based steps to retrain your brain to find safety, calm, and clarity

Whether you're noticing these patterns in yourself or someone you love, this episode gives you insight and actionable steps to break the cycle and begin becoming the calm, grounded, and empowered woman God designed you to be.
