Positive affirmations can feel cheesy—or powerful—depending on how they’re used. In this episode, Chris and Jen explore how affirmations actually work, what’s happening in the brain when we use them, and why authenticity matters more than forced positivity. Through neuroscience-informed insight and personal experience, they share how to create affirmations that feel real, aspirational, and effective, and how integrating them into daily life can help restore calm, confidence, and a sense of control during emotionally challenging times.
