This week, Brian walks through the mindset shift that helped him during one of the hardest weeks of his life. You’ll learn a quick grounding exercise, a simple habit loop you can run any time heaviness hits, and a practical way to focus on what you can control so you can move forward with a little more peace.

  • Why the “weight” you feel isn’t your whole reality

  • The TAP cycle for tough moments: notice the Trigger, run a helpful Action, collect the Prize

  • A plain-English take on the Stoic dichotomy of control

  • How tiny wins reset your mood and rebuild momentum
