#55: Don’t Trust, Verify—How to Separate Your Thoughts from Your Feelings


Listen Later

Feeling overwhelmed? Frustrated? Like the world is just too much? In this episode, Drs. Derek and Laura Cabrera of Cornell University break down the critical difference between thinking and feeling—and why confusing the two can lead to unnecessary stress, poor decisions, and pointless arguments.

They’ll teach you how to untangle your emotions from your thoughts, avoid reacting impulsively, and use the RAR Quad move to create a critical pause before acting. Plus, they take on the news, social media, and emotional manipulation, showing you how to separate truth from clickbait.

If you’ve ever found yourself getting worked up over headlines, social media fights, or personal conflicts, this episode will give you real strategies to regain control, think more clearly, and respond with intention instead of emotion. Don't trust—verify.
