Episode Details

Your thoughts create physical and emotional reactions that drive your actions and motivation. So the more you understand the connection between what happens in your mind and body, the better equipped you are to move forward in the face of fear, anxiety, and obstacles that threaten to hold you back. This week, Valorie talks to Dr. Ebony Glover, neuroscientist and director of the Affective Neuroscience Laboratory at Kennesaw State University, where she conducts research to better understand the biological factors associated with fear and anxiety. In this conversation, she helps us pinpoint why anxiety is on the rise in our current culture, the impact of race relations on mental health, and how to increase your inner resilience and thrive, even in the face of fear.
