In The Driver's Seat with Janine Driver
9-Minute Brain Hacks to Make You a Badass
Alright, let’s cut the crap—In the Driver Seat with Janine Driver isn’t your grandma’s podcast (unless your grandma’s a badass, in which case, bring her along).
This is where you come to learn the shit nobody’s teaching: how to read people like a poker champ, drop a verbal nuke when it counts, and own the damn room like a boss.
Here’s the deal:
• Every week, I’m dropping two 9-minute episodes so packed with body language hacks, statement analysis, and persuasion techniques, you’ll wonder why the hell no one told you this sooner.
• We’re taking headlines straight from the news, dissecting the drama, and showing you how to use the same strategies to crush it at work and in life.
• Want to see this magic in action? Check out YouTube on the Janine Driver channel, where I’ll show you exactly how to move, how to own it, and how to leave people saying, “Damn, that was good.”
This isn’t some fluffy, motivational B.S. podcast. This is science-backed, swear-worthy, make-your-competition-cry kind of stuff. You’ll get tools I used to spot Nazis, gunrunners, and liars—and trust me, if it works on the worst, it’ll work in your next board meeting, pitch, or even date night.
So, what are you waiting for? Get in. Buckle up.
Let’s f***ing roll.
You’re in the Driver Seat now. Don’t let anyone take it from you.

EP 13: Caught in a Spiral? This 17-Second Trick Will Save You
Have you ever overreacted… then obsessed about it for two straight days? Or shut down and thought, Why am I letting this bother me so much?
You’re not alone. And more importantly, you’re not broken.
In this episode of In the Driver’s Seat, Janine Driver—body language expert, retired federal law enforcement officer, and corporate keynote speaker—dives into the neuroscience of emotional regulation and reveals one life-changing skill: Cognitive Reappraisal.
This isn’t just self-help fluff. This is the exact strategy used by Navy SEALs, hostage negotiators, emotionally intelligent leaders, Serena Williams, Fred Rogers, and yes—even Mike Tyson. (You’re gonna want to hear that story.)
You’ll learn:
- Why emotional spirals hijack your brain—and how to stop them
- What your prefrontal cortex and amygdala have to do with better decisions at work and home
- How a $32 car wash became a meditation tool that saved Janine’s parenting
- What “catching the blink” means and how to apply emotional CPR in real-time
- Why a 17-second pause might be the most powerful habit you build this year
- How Mike Tyson went from biting ears to becoming emotionally centered (yes, really)
- The difference between reappraisal vs. denial—and how to reframe without faking it
Whether you’re leading a team, navigating pressure at home, or trying not to send that reactive email, this episode is for anyone who’s tired of letting emotions run the show—and ready to step into strategic emotional power.
