Ever feel like you’re doing everything right…but something still feels off?
Like no matter how hard you work, how much you win, how much you provide—it’s never quite enough. You’re crushing it professionally…but at home, you’re irritable, disconnected, or just numb.
If that hits home, you’re not crazy. You’re not broken. You just might be glitching. 👀
This week on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show, I’m sit down with Dr. Don Wood—mindset and trauma expert, author, and the creator of the TIPP Method. He’s helped pro athletes and CEOs reboot their minds and experience next-level peace and performance.
And for real, Don flipped the switch on how I view anxiety, depression, and that low-level restlessness that so many of us think we just need to push through.
In this episode, you will hear:
- Why unresolved trauma creates mental “glitches” that hijack your peace and purpose
- The real reason you’re still battling anxiety or sabotage—even when life looks good
- How to use science and Scripture to reset your mind and step into God-designed freedom
- The one mindset practice you can start today to stop spirals and snap back into clarity
Key Quotes
- “You must understand how your mind works. If you don’t, you can never fix it.” – Dr. Don Wood
- “Trauma is a software glitch. If you don’t resolve it, your nervous system will keep firing like you’re still in danger.” – Dr. Don Wood
- “Anytime you have an emotion, feeling, or sensation, your mind is calling for an action. Fear wants you to run. But if you’re recalling fear from a past event, and you can’t act, that’s a glitch.” – Dr. Don Wood
- “The best thing you can do as a parent? Make your home safe. The world won’t treat your child like you can. You have the chance to be their safe place. That’s the greatest gift you can give them.” – Dr. Don Wood
- “When a negative thought creeps in, close your eyes, think about something positive, then describe what you see. You’ll reset the brain and won’t even remember the negative thought.” – Dr. Don Wood
