Save this for the next time you need a gentle reminder to practice "Let Them." Is there someone in your life you need to stop trying to change?

Are Your Emotions Telling You the Truth? Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett, psychologist and neuroscientist, joins hosts Dr. Heather Berlin and Dr. Christof Koch to unpack her theory of constructed emotion: the idea that emotions aren't hardwired reactions but stories the brain builds to explain physical signals like a racing heart or a furrowed brow. Dr. Barrett explains why there's no universal facial expression for anger or fear, how the same racing heart can be read as fear or excitement depending on your Perception Box, and why "you have more control over your interpretation than you think," even if that control takes practice to build.
