What if fear isn't a flaw, but a sophisticated data point? In this episode, Tijen and Sajili deconstruct fear through the lens of human development and executive mastery. Tijen introduces her provocative framework: Fear as a Computational Predictive Error. This is the precise moment the human system fails to reconcile a perceived threat with its internal sense of capability. By moving fear out of the realm of "emotion" and into "adaptive intelligence," this conversation provides a roadmap for leaders and Master-level coaches to navigate the high-stakes "suspension states" of fight, flight, freeze, or fawn.

In this episode, we explore:

• The Neuro-Logic of Fear: How inherited programming and sensory memory shape executive identity and decision-making.
• Identity vs. Survival: Why the modern "threat" is often a perceived loss of status or ego rather than physical safety.
• The "What If" Pivot: Transforming anxiety-driven loops into strategic, creative pathways.
• Coaching at the MCC Level: Validating a client’s reality while skillfully loosening the grip of limiting narratives.
• Ancient Wisdom, Modern Future: Using the myths of Rapunzel and Perseus as mirrors for our current AI-shaped landscape.

Tijen also reveals her 5-Step Resilience Methodology, grounded in her personal journey through breast cancer. She illustrates how sovereignty, cultural sensitivity, and professional partnership create a blueprint for grounded resilience in the face of life’s most profound unknowns.

Rethink fear. It isn’t a barrier—it’s a portal to your next level of capability.
