Mónica Guzmán is a journalist who couldn't even have an honest conversation with her own parents about politics — and she turned that painful personal failure into a methodology that works in boardrooms, courtrooms, and living rooms.
Mónica is a bridge-builder journalist, Senior Fellow at Braver Angels, host of A Braver Way podcast, and bestselling author of I Never Thought of It That Way. In this episode, she breaks down the neurological and psychological forces that shut down curiosity at the exact moment you need it most — and gives you a practical framework to stay grounded when every instinct tells you to run, fight, freeze, or fold.
