In this episode, we show how to stop reacting like everything is personal and broken, and start responding like an optimist on purpose. You’ll learn how optimism is built through identity, not blind hope, and why your default thoughts decide how your day goes. From a chaotic podcast setup, to brain science on pessimism vs optimism, to simple catchphrases that rewire your reactions—the big takeaway is this: choose the identity, and your brain will follow.
