Since the early 1980s, she has been a pioneer in neuroplasticity research, focusing on the mind-brain connection, mental health, and memory formation. Her decades-long career spans clinical therapy, education, field research, and government contracts, during which she developed the scientifically validated Neurocycle® and Leaf Mind Management Scale (LMM)™. An internationally recognized author of over 18 books in 22 languages, Dr. Leaf continues to publish peer-reviewed research while collaborating with neurologists to demonstrate the measurable mental health benefits of her work.

If you've ever thought, “Why do I keep overreacting in meetings” or “I just can't shut my brain off,” this episode is for you. The problem isn't your brain. It's that no one ever taught you how to manage your mind.   In this episode of Unlocked, I sit down with Dr. Caroline Leaf - neuroscientist, bestselling author of 19 books, and someone who's been helping people untangle their thought life for over 40 years. She breaks down the difference between the mind and the brain, why the brain is more like a storage device than a decision maker, and how leaders can take back control when their emotions hijack the moment.   We also get into why “mind hacks” work, how long it actually takes to rewire a belief (hint: it's not 21 days), and whether AI can ever truly empathize with us. Spoiler: it cannot.   If you feel stuck in mental loops that sabotage your clarity, confidence, or leadership, this episode will show you the science and strategy to step out of reactivity and into ownership.   Website: helpinahurrybook.com

On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I sit down with the brilliant Dr. Caroline Leaf, a true pioneer in the science of the mind, brain, and body connection. Caroline's work has changed how we think about mental health, self-regulation, and transformation and today, she joins me to share insights from her latest book, Help in a Hurry. We dive right into what inspired this new book: those frantic moments when you feel like you're about to lose it, stuck in regret, overwhelmed, people-pleasing, or on the verge of snapping in the middle of a tough meeting. Caroline unpacks the real science behind why those first 60 seconds matter so much, and she gives practical—often life-changing—techniques you can use to take back control in the heat of the moment. Caroline walks me through her process for validation, mind shifting, and conscious breathing, sharing stories from her own life (yes, even the experts lose their cool sometimes!) and the research that led to this 63-second miracle. We talk burnout, pressurized living, the myth of waiting for a vacation to “restore” yourself, and how just a one-minute “thinker moment” can completely reset your brain and body. We get into the difference between the mind and the brain (Caroline makes this fascinating and easy to grasp!) and the importance of tuning into your soul and spirit to find genuine peace even quoting some powerful scripture along the way. Whether you're struggling in your relationships, facing chronic burnout, or just want to bring more mental strength and peace to your day-to-day, this conversation is filled with accessible strategies, inspiration, and hope. Caroline's wisdom will help you reclaim the next moment (and maybe the next 63 days), moving you from chaos and helplessness to clarity and empowerment. If you've ever felt like you need “help in a hurry,” or you want a 911 strategy for your thoughts and feelings, this episode is your go-to guide.   About Dr. Caroline Leaf, Dr. Caroline Leaf is a communication pathologist, audiologist, clinical and research neuroscientist with a Masters and PhD in Communication Pathology and a BSc Logopaedics, specializing in psychoneurobiology and metacognitive neuropsychology.

When we say you've got a disease, that's like a death sentence." - Dr. Caroline LeafDr. Caroline Leaf drops a truth bomb that challenges everything we've been told about mental health: getting diagnosed by a professional might actually make your struggles worse, not better. She's watched countless people trap themselves in permanent identities around being "diseased" when anxiety, depression, and overwhelm are actually just information - signals from your mind telling you something deeper needs attention. While we rush to label cardiovascular disease because we can trace it back to the heart, she reveals there's still no confirmed neurobiological cause for mental health conditions, yet we use the same medical language that implies lifelong illness.What makes this conversation revolutionary is how she reframes mental struggles as four simple signals - emotions, physical sensations, behaviors, and perspective shifts - that point toward what's really happening in your life. Instead of accepting a diagnosis that locks you into being "anxious" or "depressed" forever, she shows you how to use these signals as a compass for deeper reflection and real healing. This isn't about dismissing professional help, but about changing the language and approach from disease management to understanding the information your mind is trying to give you.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!The most dangerous trend in mental health today isn't anxiety itself—it's how we've been taught to think about it. Dr. Caroline Leaf, a leading neuroscientist and author of "Help in a Hurry," reveals why 100% of people experience anxiety and how the current medical model of labeling and diagnosing mental health "disorders" creates more harm than healing. Through groundbreaking research spanning 40 years, she shares her most vulnerable discovery: we are 99% mind and 1% brain, making every thought we think a physical force that either builds or destroys our cellular health. The conversation takes a powerful turn when she explains her 63-day healing protocol that has helped thousands rewire toxic thought patterns, proving that what we've been told about mental health has been fundamentally backwards—and how anyone struggling with overwhelm, anxiety, or stress today holds the power to transform their mind and heal their body.Pre order Dr. Leaf's new book ​​Help in a Hurry: Simple Tips for Finding Peace When You're Overwhelmed, Anxious, or StressedDr. Leaf's book Switch on Your Brain: The Key to Peak Happiness, Thinking, and HealthDr. Leaf's book Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess: 5 Simple, Scientifically Proven Steps to Reduce Anxiety, Stress, and Toxic ThinkingDr. Leaf on InstagramThe Doctor Leaf Show on YouTubeIn this episode you will learn:Why anxiety is your brain's warning system, not a disease, and how to read its signals correctlyThe shocking truth about self-diagnosis culture and why labeling yourself creates the exact problems you're trying to solveHow your thoughts become physical networks in your brain and body within secondsWhy 35-98% of all physical illnesses originate from toxic thinking patternsThe exact 63-day process neuroscientists use to rewire trauma and heal emotional woundsFor more information go to https://www.lewishowes.com/1785For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you'll love:Dr. Rangan Chatterjee  – greatness.lnk.to/1716SCDr. Joe Dispenza – greatness.lnk.to/1702SCTJ Power – greatness.lnk.to/1741SC Get more from Lewis!

Key Topics Discussed: Spiritual Rhythms: Pam emphasizes the importance of daily habits that draw us closer to God, including early morning quiet time, listening prayer, journaling, weekly church fellowship, and working toward understanding the true meaning of Sabbath. The Power of Discipline: "When you have discipline in one area, it will bleed over. It will impact another area." Pam explains how establishing discipline in one area makes creating discipline in others much easier.

Mind-Body-Spirit Connection: Our spiritual, mental, and physical health are all connected. Pam shares practical habits for stewarding our bodies as God's temple, including nutrition, movement, and preparation. Memorable Quotes: "The Lord will delay a certain outcome or reward because either I wasn't ready or the people who were going to be part of that were not ready."

"Getting it in the whisper means something different to me now because I've learned how to recognize who that whisper is—the Lord." "You cannot change anything until you change something you do every single day."
