🎙️ Why You Self-Sabotage: The Hidden Brain Circuit That’s Quietly Controlling Your Life | Dr. Kyra Bobinet (Pt. 1)

.

We all know what to do… so why don’t we do it?

.

In this mind-bending episode, Dr. Kyra Bobinet takes us deep into the neurological fault line between desire and action—the "Know-do gap"—and the mysterious ancient brain structure responsible: the habenula.

.

This isn’t dopamine. This isn’t willpower. This is the revolutionary science of behavioral sabotage most people have never heard of.

.

Dr. Bobinet—Harvard-trained physician, neuroscientist, and author of Unstoppable Brain—joins Dov Baron for a vulnerable, unscripted exploration of how trauma, addiction, procrastination, and self-doubt all link back to one small but powerful structure in the midbrain that silently shuts down our motivation.
