149: Why Does It Take Tragedy to Wake Us Up — And Why Don’t We Stay Awake?
Why does it take a tragedy — a plane crash, a diagnosis, a sudden loss — for us to finally wake up and remember what really matters?
In this powerful episode, I dive deep into the neuroscience and psychology of why we stay stuck in autopilot… until life forces us to pause. We’ll explore:
What happens in the brain when tragedy strikes
Why most people don’t make lasting changes, even when they say they want to
How grief, overwhelm, and societal conditioning pull us back into the matrix
Tangible steps to live more awake, on purpose — without needing a crisis to get there
