With Jon Prince #98","description":"You know the moment: you\u2019ve chosen to be clearer, less accommodating, a bit braver. And it feels good\u2026 for about two seconds. Then the wobble comes. That tightening in your chest. That playback in your head. The urge to explain or undo what you just said. In today\u2019s episode, I talk with Jon Prince \u2014 former professional poker player, coach, and author of Start Before You\u2019re Ready \u2014 about exactly that: how to hold your nerve when you raise the stakes, and your nervous system screams for relief. Poker isn\u2019t just about cards. It\u2019s about emotional control under pressure. If you make a move to calm yourself down, you lose. The skill is staying in the hand while your body wants to fold. We dig into what actually happens after you make a brave choice in life: the growth hangover, the inner critic revving up, the post-boundary shake, and the real work of sitting in tension without fixing, rescuing, or smoothing it over. This episode will resonate if you\u2019ve ever: said something aligned and then questioned it chosen a new way of being and felt exposed held silence and wanted to fill it wondered if holding your ground meant you were too much Jon\u2019s perspective brings both the rawness of real nervous systems and the wisdom of real growth. If you\u2019ve ever been braver than usual and then wanted to take it back, this conversation is for you.   LINKS Jon Prince on Instagram Jon Prince\u2019s Book, Start Before You\u2019re Ready Jon Prince\u2019s Website Christopher Sexton \u2013 Instagram (poet of the quote we opened with) ","author_name":"Enough, the Podcast","author_url":"http:\/\/enoughthepodcast.libsyn.com\/website","html":"
