In this episode of Inside Personal Growth, Greg Voisen sits down with Eugene Choi, a transformational mindset coach, pharmacist turned entrepreneur, and founder of Destiny Hacks. Eugene shares his incredible journey from a six-figure pharmacy career to filmmaking, and ultimately to helping leaders and entrepreneurs rewire their brains for higher performance.

Listeners will hear how neuroscience and neuroplasticity reveal that 90–95% of our daily behavior runs on autopilot—often in survival mode—and how to shift into the executive state to make better decisions, access creativity, and improve well-being. Through powerful stories, including life-threatening experiences in Rio de Janeiro and lessons learned from his own family, Eugene illustrates how to overcome fight-flight-freeze responses, reduce stress, and live a more conscious, empowered life.

🎧 What Listeners Can Learn
-The science of how your brain switches between survival mode and executive mode
-Why emotional discomfort can trigger the same stress response as physical danger
-How autopilot habits form and how to reprogram them for success
-Practical tools like “Name it to tame it” to regulate emotions and reduce stress instantly
-The long-term health risks of chronic stress—and how to prevent burnout
-How self-talk and awareness can transform relationships, leadership, and performance

#439 Rewiring Your Nervous System After Breast Cancer - From Survival Mode to Safety Mode

In this compelling episode of Inside Personal Growth, Greg welcomes Dr. Rebecca Heiss, biologist, behavioral scientist, and author of Springboard: Transform Stress to Work for You. Rebecca’s groundbreaking work reshapes one of the biggest myths in modern life — that stress is something we need to avoid.

Drawing from neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and her own profound life transformation, Rebecca reveals why stress is not the enemy. Instead, she shows us how to reframe fear, repurpose stress, and use it as powerful fuel for growth, clarity, and purpose.

She shares the moment that changed everything — when a family tragedy forced her to confront the life she was living and make bold, life-altering decisions. This experience, combined with scientific insight, led her to create the Fearless Stress Formula, helping people shift from anxiety to action, from avoidance to empowerment.

Together, Greg and Rebecca explore how stress impacts mindset, health, productivity, and meaning — and why your belief about stress matters more than the stress itself. They also dive into journaling, curiosity, post-traumatic growth, and how small daily actions can restore your sense of agency even in uncertain times.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, afraid, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your own potential, this conversation will give you a renewed sense of possibility — and a path to transform stress into strength.

How stress can become a tool rather than a threat
Why your belief about stress has more impact than stress itself
The Fearless Stress Formula: Tiger → Transfer → Trajectory

Born out of over 18 years of clinical experience and her own personal health crises.

At the age of 33, Dr. Kristen Kells, DC weighed over 200 pounds and was stressed, burned out on ineffective diets, and starting to feel hopeless.

She realized that something had to change for her and her family. That realization began her journey back to vibrant health and a subsequent 80-pound weight loss.

In addition, she was becoming increasingly burdened by watching people use yo-yo diets, incomplete programs, and confusing, contradictory advice that left them worse off than when they started.
