Anxious? Overwhelmed? Q&A with Dr. Kevin Majeres

What this episode covers

Anxiety is rising — but why? This talk surveys current neuroscience on dynorphins, dopamine and adrenaline, showing how “welcoming discomfort” reshapes stress responses, cognition and motivation. Drawing on OptimalWork’s reframing/mindfulness protocol, it highlights practical applications for parenting and daily life, outlining evidence-based practices that convert threat reactivity into goal-directed learning and sustained attention.
