What if the discomfort of change wasn’t a threat… but a signal?
In this episode of Catalyze Your Self, we move beyond motivation and mindset and into the biology of transformation. Neuroscience of Change explores how the mind, body, and nervous system respond when disruption arrives, and how we can work with those responses instead of against them.
This isn’t just about understanding stress. It’s about decoding it. We walk through how cognition, emotion, and consciousness each experience change, and how The SIRE Model™, along with HALT, RISE, and SHIFT, and the eco-system of Self Reflection gives us a way to lead ourselves through the rewiring process with clarity and care.
If you’ve ever found yourself bracing for change…
If you’ve ever felt frustrated that your growth didn’t “stick”…
If you’re ready to respond to change not from fear but from integration, this episode is for you.
We explore:
◊ Why your nervous system defaults to stress, and how to gently retrain it
◊ How to use HALT as a signal for when you're caught in a reactive loop
◊ What it looks like to regulate with RISE and respond with SHIFT
◊ How presence and reflection can actually stabilize your new behaviors
◊ And how The SIRE Model™ becomes a full-body practice, not just a mental one
This conversation is for anyone who faces a transition. For anyone who wants to move from surviving change… to embodying it.
If change is the path, this episode is your practice. Thank you for being here, and for staying with yourself as you grow.
