In this episode of Experible, I sit down with acclaimed author and coach Maisie Hill to explore the transformative power of understanding our physiological and emotional responses. We dive into key concepts from her book Powerful, unpacking how stress responses like fight, flight, and freeze shape our daily behaviour.
Maisie reveals actionable strategies for self-awareness, emotional regulation, and breaking old patterns. We also discuss brain plasticity, motivation, interoception, chronic stress, and cultivating inner resilience. Whether you’re looking to set better boundaries, manage difficult conversations, or overcome personal challenges, this episode is packed with insights to help you harness your full potential.
