Sixes often say, “I’m not negative… I’m just realistic.”

But what if that isn’t actually true?

In this episode, I explore how Sixes often mistake threat detection for realism. Our brains are wired to scan for what could go wrong — and when those predictions occasionally come true, it reinforces the belief that we’re simply seeing reality more clearly than others.

But that isn’t realism.
It’s a very specific slice of reality.

I share a simple practice you can try immediately to expand your capacity to take in more of what’s actually possible — not just the negative outcomes your brain predicts.

In this episode we explore:

Why Sixes believe they’re “realists”

How our brains encode threat prediction as truth

The difference between realism and fear filtering
