🎙️ Why You Self-Sabotage: The Hidden Brain Circuit That’s Quietly Controlling Your Life | Dr. Kyra Bobinet (Pt. 1)

.

We all know what to do… so why don’t we do it?

.

In this mind-bending episode, Dr. Kyra Bobinet takes us deep into the neurological fault line between desire and action—the "Know-do gap"—and the mysterious ancient brain structure responsible: the habenula.

.

This isn’t dopamine. This isn’t willpower. This is the revolutionary science of behavioral sabotage most people have never heard of.

.

Dr. Bobinet—Harvard-trained physician, neuroscientist, and author of Unstoppable Brain—joins Dov Baron for a vulnerable, unscripted exploration of how trauma, addiction, procrastination, and self-doubt all link back to one small but powerful structure in the midbrain that silently shuts down our motivation.

.

🔥 On This Episode:

  • The ancient anti-reward system: What the habenula does to kill your motivation—and how to reboot it

  • Why “I know what to do, but I don’t do it” is a neurological truth, not a character flaw

  • The real reason self-help and habit hacks don’t stick

  • The neuroscience Behind Trauma-Driven Behavior—and Why Emotional Logic Beats Rational Logic

  • How your childhood shaped a lifelong unconscious fear of success

  • Failing For Saftey: The root of addictive behavior and the brain’s hidden decision.

  • Why curiosity is the most powerful antidote to self-blame

  • What most neuroscience gets wrong—and how this overlooked discovery changes everything

Dr. Kyra Bobinet has worked with everyone from incarcerated youth to Fortune 100 companies and built a free, science-backed habit-change platform called Fresh Tri—no ads, no data harvesting, just real transformation.

.

This episode is not for the passive listener—it’s for those ready to rewrite their brain’s story.

.

🎧 If you’ve ever asked “What’s wrong with me?”—this episode will show you the truth: Nothing is wrong with you. You just haven’t met your habenula.
