Ever spiraled over a text that didn’t get a reply? Or panicked when someone didn’t smile back on the sidewalk? That’s not you being irrational—it’s your back brain doing its job a little too well.
In this episode of Sufferless with a Part-Time Monk, I break down the simple, powerful difference between your reactive back brain and your wise front brain—and how to shift from panic to peace in everyday moments.
We’ll explore a 3-step process I call The Sufferless Shift—from Default to Deliberation to Design—so you can catch yourself in the spiral, pause with presence, and create a life where your calm, front-seat self takes the wheel more often.
You’ll also hear a real-life story about LeBron James’ back brain hijack during the 2011 NBA Finals—and how he turned it around the very next year.
If you're ready to feel lighter, think clearer, and suffer less… this one’s for you.
