TOP Behavioural Scientist Reveals the Real Reason You’re Stuck (It’s Not Mindset)

Описание: What if the very thing holding you back is actually your most powerful guide to personal growth and fulfilment?

In this powerful episode of Unlayered, Pan Perera sits down with Penny Locaso, a renowned behavioural scientist, Leadership Coach, and TEDx speaker, to challenge everything you thought you knew about fear.

This conversation is a masterclass in self-awareness, offering practical tools to reconnect with your body's innate wisdom. Learn how to identify your unique threat responses, differentiate between practical and psychological fear, and use actionable strategies like "Micro Bravery" and the "100 Noes Challenge" to dance with discomfort and unlock your true potential.

𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗱:

  • Reframing fear from an enemy to a powerful inner compass for growth.
  • Biological & Psychological Fear: Understanding the innate warning system vs. conditioned responses.
  • Decoding fight, flight, freeze, and the often-overlooked 'fawning' (people-pleasing) threat response.
  • "Little 't' Traumas": How seemingly minor childhood experiences create physiological imprints that shape our adult fears and beliefs.
  • Micro Bravery: Practical, small steps to build vulnerability and overcome resistance.
  • The Toxic Culture of Busy: Why prioritising constant productivity fuels burnout and disconnects us from self-compassion.
  • This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the invisible forces shaping their lives, embrace vulnerability, and courageously unlayer what's truly holding them back.
