Ep 204 - Why your brain fixates on the negative (and how to use this in work and life)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Your brain is doing exactly what it’s designed to do, even when it sometimes feels a little broken.
In this episode, I’m unpacking something that affects all of us: negative bias - why one awkward moment, one piece of feedback, or one “off” interaction can feel louder than everything that went right.
We’ll talk about:
- Why your brain naturally focuses on the negative
- How this shows up at work, in leadership, and in everyday life
- The hidden impact on confidence, decision-making, and team culture
- Simple, practical ways to rebalance your thinking (without toxic positivity)
This isn’t about forcing yourself to “think positive” or ignoring what’s not working - we don't do that around here. It’s about understanding how your mind works so you can create a more accurate, and supportive, perspective.
If you’ve ever overthought a conversation from years ago, fixated on one mistake, or felt like the negative just sticks more… this one’s for you.
