In this powerful solo episode, John R. Miles explores a skill that could radically change how you experience adversity, uncertainty, and emotional overwhelm—reframing. But not the kind tied to false positivity or denial. Instead, John unveils the LENS Method, a practical, neuroscience-backed framework for transforming the story you tell yourself—so you can move from survival to self-mastery.Drawing from research by Dr. Daniel Siegel, Carol Dweck, Martin Seligman, and others, this episode unpacks why reframing isn’t spin—it’s strategy. Through storytelling, psychology, and personal insight, John shows how to use the four LENS steps to reduce emotional reactivity, activate resilience, and reconnect with the values that define your best self.Click here for the full shownotes: https://passionstruck.com/the-lens-framework-new-reframe-your-inner-world/Join the Ignition Room!Join the new free Passion Struck Community to win Passion Struck merchandise! - The Ignition Room: https://station.page/passionstruckKey Takeaways:
