Can 3 days really change your mindset? Pick your path- videos or sleep audios.
🎥 Mindset Reset videos with Dana + Colleen
🎧 3 Sleep-Friendly Audio Sessions (Cravings, Unweighting, Pain Relief) Emotional work isn’t “just processing.” Your brain uses up to 30% of your daily energy when you revisit memories, shift patterns, rewire beliefs, and confront shame, you are doing real neurological work — whether you can see it or not. In this episode of The Digital Dojo Radio, we unpack:
• Why emotional growth feels physically exhausting
• How resistance drains more energy than the work itself
• The surrender paradox (and why it’s actually power)
• Brain science behind safety, choice, and nervous system regulation
• The gut–heart–head alignment model
• Why shame is always a lie
• And how to make inner work feel energizing instead of overwhelming
