LISTEN ON YOUR FAVE PLATFORM: APPLE | SPOTIFY | STITCHER

Have you ever thought something negative about yourself or your situation? Maybe you’ve learned from experience that it doesn’t take long before that single toxic thought can lead to a downward spiral of negative emotions, depression, or anxiety.

Soon, you feel like your mind’s a mess and you’re not sure how to get yourself out of the mental or emotional state you’ve found yourself in.

Maybe you’ve struggled with falling asleep or you’ve had a negative relationship with food. Maybe you’re a people pleaser or you’re fighting against toxic perfectionism.

Or maybe you’ve experienced a past trauma that has stuck with you.

Whatever your experience or struggle, the mind likely plays a powerful role. 

But the good news is that our minds can be managed and even rewired to overcome those struggles. Research has shown that you can heal from toxic thoughts, emotional distress, and trauma.

And that’s exactly what I talked about on the SHE podcast with neuroscientist Dr. Caroline Leaf.

And trust me when I say… this episode is going to blow your mind, friend! 🤯

For over 30 years, she has researched the mind-brain connection, the nature of mental health, and the formation of memory. 

She was even one of the first in her field to study neuroplasticity (how the brain can change and be rewired).
