In this episode, Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas explains how these reactions are your brain’s natural protection mechanisms—and how they can backfire, causing stress and holding you back from growth.

Kasey walks through common patterns like fear of the unknown, overthinking, and the need for approval, sharing practical strategies to recognize these instincts, reframe anxious or self-critical thoughts, and take action toward the life you actually want. If you’ve ever wondered why your mind feels like it’s working against you, this episode offers insights, real-life examples, and actionable tips to reclaim clarity and confidence.
