Podcasts about rewire your brain

#222: If you're stuck in the same patterns (dating the wrong people, hitting the same income ceiling, or sabotaging your goals), it's not your fault. The issue isn't your effort, it's your subconscious. In this episode, Jessica Gill from To Be Magnetic breaks down "neural manifestation," a science-backed method that rewires your brain so you can finally align your self-worth with what you're calling in. We cover the psychology of why you get stuck, how to spot subconscious blocks, and the role of inner child healing in becoming truly magnetic. You'll walk away with practical tools to shift your beliefs, embody confidence (without faking it), and start attracting love, money, and opportunities that match the life you want.This episode is also brought to you by OSEAHead to OSEAMalibu.com and use code "THEEVERYGIRL" for 10% off your order.For Detailed Show Notes visit theeverygirlpodcast.com Hosted on Acast.

What if the fastest way to change your life isn't more willpower—but a better doorway into your subconscious?On today's Crackin' Backs Podcast, hypnotherapist Dayana Muzinek (Grace Method™ certified) pulls back the curtain on how hypnotherapy works, why it's more than “stage hypnosis,” and how focused consciousness can help rewire cue–craving–response patterns that drive anxiety, insomnia, IBS/gut issues, chronic pain, vaping, and doom-scrolling. Dayana breaks down her go-to Grace Method flow—from induction to suggestion to post-session homework—and gives listeners a 90-second at-home interrupt (breath + word cue + micro-move) you can use the moment worry blindsides you. (Grace Method training details here.We also go where the clicks are:Sleep hypnosis & insomnia: What a three-step sleep hypnosis stack looks like, where hypnosis helps, and where the evidence is still emerging. (Peer-reviewed reviews/meta-analyses suggest promise but mixed methodology.Gut-directed hypnotherapy (IBS): Why clinicians are calling GDH “guideline-adjacent” and how sessions may reset the gut–brain axis; plus a calm-the-gut script outline to try at home for a week. (Multiple meta-analyses and RCTs show improvements in global IBS symptoms.Chronic pain: Where hypnosis fits best (often as an adjunct), and which levers matter most—expectations, imagery, and self-hypnosis between visits. (Recent meta-analytic work supports benefits across mental and somatic outcomes.Modern habits & identity change: From vaping to doom-scrolling to GLP-1 era weight loss, Dayana explains how hypnosis supports pre/during/post-GLP-1 phases by targeting the two identity shifts that sustain new behavior.Safety & ethics: We tackle myths about false memories and outline Dayana's trauma-sensitive, evidence-based guardrails, including the safe boundary for self-hypnosis at home.If you've ever searched “Does hypnosis really work for anxiety?”, “sleep hypnosis for insomnia,” “hypnotherapy for IBS,” or “how to break bad habits with hypnosis,” this conversation gives you science, structure, and a starter routine you can use tonight.Learn More / Book with DayanaConnect with Dayana Muzinek (LinkedIn): She's a Grace Method™ Certified Hypnotherapist and active member of IACT.

You're not alone.  So many people struggle with turning dreams into real change. But what if you could draw your desires into reality using a simple, brain-based method? In today's episode, you'll hear from my guest Colette Baron-Reid, who has designed a practice that puts creativity and science on your side.

In this episode, Dr. Vonda Wright sits down with Jules Vazquez—former Pitt and pro soccer player turned health-informatics expert and founder of Brain Body by Jules. Jules builds clinical algorithms for a health-tech company to speed access to care, and translates cutting-edge neuroscience into simple, actionable tools for brain and body health—a mission shaped by her own experiences with concussions and an eating disorder. Together, they unpack what neuroplasticity really is and how to train it at any age. Jules breaks down dual-task drills (movement + cognition), vision/vestibular/proprioceptive training, and nervous-system support through breathwork and vagus-nerve activation. They explore habit stacking (adding brain games to walks or workouts), why “doing hard things” strengthens discipline circuits, and practical wins—like humming, weighted pressure, and grounding—to calm anxiety and sharpen focus. The conversation ties these tools to midlife brain changes, sleep/nutrition/movement pillars, and everyday strategies listeners can start today to feel more present, resilient, and cognitively strong. ••• Connect with Jules Vasquez: Website: https://brainbodybyjules.podia.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brainbodybyjules/ ••• Make sure to follow Dr. Vonda Wright: Instagram: @drvondawright Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@vondawright Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drvondawright LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vonda-wright-md-ms-2803374 Website: http://www.DrVondaWright.com ••• If you enjoyed this episode, Subscribe to “HOT For Your Health” for more inspiring episodes.

Could your morning routine be secretly sabotaging your chronic pain and illness recovery? In this illuminating episode, we explore how those critical first moments after waking profoundly impact your nervous system's regulation and pain processing throughout the entire day.When you first open your eyes, your brain is in a uniquely vulnerable state—actively scanning your environment and asking: "Am I safe today, or am I in danger?" The signals you send during this transition period can either trigger fight-or-flight responses that amplify pain or create safety cues that begin a cascade of healing. We break down exactly which common morning behaviors are keeping you locked in pain and symptom cycles and which practices can rewire your brain for relief.Many of us unknowingly start our days with habits that spike dysregulation—immediately checking phones, rushing frantically, consuming caffeine on empty stomachs, or engaging in negative self-talk about symptoms. These seemingly innocent behaviors trigger stress responses that directly increase pain and symptom sensitivity. Equally problematic are patterns that promote freeze responses: staying in bed scrolling, avoiding movement, and remaining isolated. We share personal examples of how these patterns affected our own healing journeys and how we transformed them.The good news? Simple, intentional morning practices can dramatically shift your pain experience. We provide a comprehensive toolkit of healing morning rituals including somatic movement, specific breathwork techniques, embodiment practices, thought work, and nature exposure—all designed to send powerful safety signals to your nervous system. You'll learn practical implementation strategies that don't require massive time commitments or dramatic lifestyle overhauls.Whether you're struggling with chronic pain, persistent symptoms, or simply want to optimize your nervous system regulation, this episode offers a roadmap for creating morning routines that support lasting healing. Start tomorrow with even one small change, and begin transforming your relationship with pain from the moment you wake up.Tanner Murtagh and Anne Hampson are therapists who treat neuroplastic pain and mind-body symptoms.

Environmental neuroscientist Marc Berman drops a revelation that could transform how you think about your daily struggles with focus, stress, and mental clarity: your brain has two completely different attention systems, and modern life is systematically destroying one of them. While we scroll through endless feeds believing we're taking "mental breaks," we're actually depleting the very cognitive resource we need most to achieve our goals, control our impulses, and become our best selves. Berman's groundbreaking research reveals that something as simple as a 20-minute walk in nature can be as effective as ADHD medication for focus, while looking at curved edges in natural environments literally makes people think more about spirituality. You'll discover why your environment isn't just influencing your mood—it's rewiring your brain, shaping your behavior, and determining whether you become the person you're capable of being.Marc's book Nature and the Mind: The Science of How Nature Improves Cognitive, Physical, and Social Well-BeingIn this episode you will:Discover the two attention systems in your brain and why one is being hijacked by modern technology, leaving you mentally fatigued and unable to focus on what matters mostTransform your understanding of "rest" by learning why scrolling social media when tired actually drains you further, while nature exposure restores your cognitive batteryBreak through mental fog and decision fatigue using Berman's five daily strategies that environmental neuroscientists use to optimize their brains for peak performanceUncover shocking research showing that 11 trees per city block provides health benefits equivalent to a $20,000 income increase, and why hospital patients with nature views heal a full day fasterHarness the power of "softly fascinating" environments that capture your involuntary attention while allowing your directed attention to recover, making you sharper and more resilientFor more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1824For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you'll love:Dr. Kevin Tracey – greatness.lnk.to/1812SCDr. Andrew Huberman  – greatness.lnk.to/1219SCDr. Caroline Leaf – greatness.lnk.to/1785SC Get more from Lewis!

Not all social connection is created equal. In this powerful episode, Amy dives into how certain relationship patterns—like emotional vampires—can rewire your brain for chronic stress and even contribute to memory loss over time.Tune in to discover the 7 types of emotional vampires and how to manage them without losing your compassion (or your sanity).

When we think about improving our health, we often think about changing our diet, increasing how much we move, improving the quality of our sleep and lowering stress, but how many of us think about ‘working' on our vision? Every day, many of us experience symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, headaches or poor concentration - and never realise that our eyes might be playing a central role . This week, I'm delighted to welcome Dr Bryce Appelbaum, a pioneering neuro-optometrist who believes that vision is our most overlooked and underutilised tool for improving how we feel, think and function. Bryce is a board-certified Fellow of the College of Optometrists in Vision Development and founder of MyVisionFirst , where he and his team combine vision therapy with principles from occupational therapy, physical therapy and holistic wellness. Bryce's expertise includes reorganising the visual brain after concussion, correcting developmental visual delays that interfere with reading and learning and enhancing visual skills to elevate athletic performance. In this incredible conversation, we discuss: Why eyesight and vision are not the same, and why most eye tests are missing a vital part of the picture How visual processing affects everything from focus and mood to movement, memory and resilience The hidden visual problems that are often left undiagnosed in both children and adults, and how these can impact learning, behaviour and emotional regulation The neurological impact of concussion and trauma on the visual system, and how it can be rehabilitated Why our screen habits are damaging not just our eyes but our brains - and how to reverse the effects The power of “vision therapy” to rewire the brain and transform quality of life Practical strategies to reduce digital eye strain and support visual health, even if you only have a few minutes a day Many of us don't realise just how much our vision influences how we think, perform. In a screen-heavy world, Bryce's insights show that with the right tools, we can train our eyes and brain to support better health, learning and quality of life at any age.

Have you ever wondered if true health isn't about the latest health solution, but about getting back to what your body was designed to do? On this episode, I connected with Dr. Ryan Williamson, a neurologist, to discuss the link between brain and body health. We covered how lifestyle choices impact metabolic health, preventing chronic conditions. We also explored foundational habits like sleep, movement, and nutrition, and then dove into strategies like cold exposure and meditation to boost focus and control. Dr. Williamson emphasized personal empowerment through intentional daily design. Key takeaways Brain health and body transformation are interconnected, rather than separate issues. The majority of chronic diseases and neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's are primarily influenced by lifestyle choices (90-99%) rather than genetics. Metabolic health is crucial, with factors like blood sugar, cholesterol, and body mass working together like a "symphony". Building and maintaining muscle mass is essential, as muscles are the largest reservoir for glucose, helping regulate blood sugar and lowering the risk of chronic disease and all-cause mortality. Many people are unaware of their true stress levels or how stuck they feel, with the brain often acting as a protective mechanism that can hinder personal growth. Establishing foundational habits (movement, sleep, nutrition, stress management, and hydration) is crucial before pursuing advanced performance hacks. Optimizing your circadian rhythm through morning sunlight and an intentional evening wind-down routine significantly enhances sleep quality, focus, and overall performance. Practices like cold exposure (in the morning) can boost sustained focus and alertness by releasing norepinephrine and dopamine. Meditation physically rewires the brain, increasing the thickness of the prefrontal cortex and enhancing control over the fear center (amygdala), leading to improved judgment and reduced reactivity.

What if the biggest thing blocking your success is the 5-inch gap between your ears?I had one of those conversations that leaves you staring at the wall afterward. Brain rewiring expert Mindi Huebner accidentally started rewiring my relationship with rest and productivity during what was supposed to be a casual catch-up call. She told me about a client who wanted seven figures but could only work 25 hours a week. One 15-minute session later, that limiting belief vanished and she hit a million dollars in three months.Mindi reveals why mindset and identity are completely different, her 24-karat identity framework, and how to spot when you're stuck in an identity box. You'll discover why rest breeds creativity, simple language swaps that rewire your brain, and how to replace "should have" thinking with future-focused language. If success feels heavy or you're working harder than you should for results, this conversation will shift what you see as possible.In this episode, you'll learn:[2:08] The email that changed everything - Mindi's "rest is lazy" identity breakthrough[8:19] Why mindset and identity are different but connected[14:47] The 15-minute session that unlocked $1M in 3 months[25:16] How to identify when you're stuck in identity boxes[31:26] The 24-karat identity framework explained[39:10] Casting votes toward your future self through micro actions[43:21] Language pattern rewiring: swapping "but" for "and" and "should have" for "from now on"Here are the resources mentioned in the show:Follow @mindihuebner on InstagramMindi Huebner's CEO Identity Quiz (DM Mindi "QUIZ" on Instagram)Mindi's WebsiteFree Reinvention Breakthrough CallThe Art of Reinvention - my mastermind program for high-achieving womenAre you enjoying the podcast?

In this episode Andrea Samadi revisits a popular interview with Dr. Dawson Church about his book Bliss Brain and the neuroscience of meditation. They explore how simple, evidence-based practices can quiet the brain's default mode, trigger blissful neurochemicals, and reshape stress and happiness networks. Listeners learn why happiness must be trained, how meditation helps people live more in the present, and practical tips to start a daily meditation practice using guided tools like the free Bliss Brain meditations. Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. For today's Episode 369, we are moving forward on our journey of the mind, to our next interview review, with our goal of building off of our past reviews, and sharpening our saw for improved well-being, productivity and success in 2025 and beyond. To review our last 3 episodes, with our interview with speaker Bob Proctor, we learned that “If we want to improve our RESULTS, we must focus on the six faculties of our mind—reason, intuition, perception, will, memory, and imagination.” “Devoting a year to developing each one would be time well invested, elevating us to greater heights and setting us apart from others.” Next, we looked at how we need to become extremely clear with our vision of “what we really want” and keep in mind that…. Our External Environment Reflects Our Internal World What exactly does this mean? It means that if we don't like what's happening in our external world—whether it's in our job, relationships, results, or any area of our life—we must first look inward. Our circumstances mirror the beliefs and thoughts we hold within. As James Allen reminds us in As a Man Thinketh: our outer world is always a reflection of our inner state. For today's Episode 369, we'll turn inward—sharpening our inner world so that we can transform the outer one. Today we go back EP 98[i] our interview with Dr. Dawson Church, that was recorded back in December of 2020, where we looked at the science behind implementing meditation into your daily routine. This interview is currently our most watched YouTube interview with over 11K views. This week, in our review of EP 98 with Dr. Dawson Church and his book Bliss Brain, we will explore how meditation can rewire the brain for happiness and presence. We will learn: ✔ Since happiness didn't evolve naturally, we must train our brain to achieve it. ✔ Our brains default to the past or future, constantly scanning for threats, instead of resting in the present moment. ✔ Extreme states of happiness are possible for all of us when we implement meditation consistently. ✔ How to commit to a daily meditation practice using the free meditations that come with Bliss Brain, or explore other guided programs until you find one that resonates with you Just a reminder-Dr. Church is the author of the book called Bliss Brain: The Neuroscience of Remodeling Your Brain for Resilience, Creativity and Joy.[ii] He's an award-winning science writer who blends cutting-edge neuroscience with the stories of people who've had firsthand experience of brain change. Neural plasticity—the discovery that the brain is capable of rewiring itself—is now widely understood. But what few people have grasped yet is how quickly this is happening, how extensive brain changes can be, and how much control each of us exerts over the process of our thinking. It's been almost 5 years since this interview, and it feels like yesterday to me. I remember at the time, one of my dogs was barking in the yard when the landscapers came, and I was worried it would distract our interview. It didn't. I don't even think Dr. Church could hear them. There were also two other things that stuck out in my head from this interview (other than the fact I was wearing glasses trying to prepare for Lasik surgery and couldn't really see the questions) but I'll also never forget that American entrepreneur and biohacker Dave Asprey, who's well known for his interest in helping others achieve these elevated brain states, wrote the Foreword to his book. I also won't ever forget Chapter 1, of Bliss Brain, where Dr. Church shares how he and his wife lost their home and pets in the 2017 Santa Rose Fire, yet they chose to focus on gratitude and rebuilding their lives with joy. This story highlights his teaching that even trained minds struggle under pressure, but with meditation and practice, we can shift into a bliss or flow state. Church's EcoMeditation method, (that he covers in his book) supported by science and praised by Dave Asprey in the Foreword, helps quiet the brain's Default Mode Network[iii] and quickly releases calming, pleasurable chemicals—in as little as four minutes. Dr. Church has a strong following, and there are many powerful testimonials at the start of his book. One we spoke about in our interview was from Toni Tombleson who wrote: After a week of putting out a handful of mini-fires that often accompany the start of a new school year in my world, I can see why these lessons to handling both major life crises and everyday challenges, by learning to cultivate a “Bliss Brain” should remain a top priority for resilience, productivity, and well-being, for all of us. VIDEO 1 Click Here to Watch Which brings me to Video Clip 1 of our review. Watch video clip 1 with the link in the show notes. Historical Context: Dr. Church begins by reflecting on The Buddha, who over 2,000 years ago sought to relieve human suffering. He also reviews other spiritual teachers, including Plato, who grappled with the same question. Biological Explanation: Dr. Church emphasizes that suffering is a biological problem, a feature of how the human brain evolved. How our lives have become easier than they were 2,000 years ago. He explained to me how people are 3x as wealthy now, than they were 40 years ago. In terms of longevity, our lifespans have doubled in the last century. There are many markers like this that show us that we live in a much more secure and safe world than we used to. Key Point: While we live in a safer environment today, than 2,000 years ago, our brains were not designed for where we are today. We are not suffering he reminded me because we are bad people, we lack will, or haven't read enough personal growth books… “We simply didn't evolve to be happy because there was no survival benefit in being happy.”  Tip #1: Since happiness didn't evolve naturally, it's something we must train our brain to achieve. Practical Application: This is the basis of his book Bliss Brain, where he explains how meditation helps us train the brain to reach a bliss or flow state. It's in his book that we learn how to achieve this state that will change not only our brain, (our internal state) but our outer results in our everyday lives. In Chapter 2, he shows us why most people find it so hard to meditate. The difficulty has nothing to do with willpower or intention. It's simply due to the design of the human brain. When you understand this clearly, you'll be equipped to work around it. Chapter 3 describes the ecstatic states that you can achieve in meditation. He examines the regions of the brain that you activate, and what each one does. He also lists the extensive health and cognitive benefits that you get from activating each of those regions. In Chapter 4 you'll hear the story of his own personal failed meditation experiences. He learned many different styles of meditation, but could never establish a consistent practice. His breakthrough came from science. When he combined seven simple evidence-based practices together, found a formula that puts people into deep states automatically and involuntarily. No effort required. When he and his colleagues hook people up to EEGs and MRIs, they find that using these seven steps, even non-meditators get into profound states in less than 4 minutes. Sometimes in less than 50 seconds. Historically, the secrets of these states have been available to only about 1% of the population. Thanks to science, they're now available to everyone. Chapter 5 he goes into the seven neurochemicals of ecstasy. We learn how each one is like a drug that makes you feel good. But combine all seven together, and you have a potent formula that takes your brain into bliss. Meditation is the only way you get all seven at one time. The star of the show is a neurotransmitter called anandamide, aka “the bliss molecule.” When you trigger these ecstatic states daily, they change your brain. Chapter 6 is about the extensive brain remodeling that occurs in seasoned meditators. Stress circuits shrink, while happiness networks grow. But you don't need to be an adept to trigger this rewiring. It begins the very first week you meditate effectively. Chapter 7 is about post-traumatic growth, and how the brains of meditators make them resilient to the inevitable upsets of life. Medical crises and financial disasters included. It provides practical examples of how meditation can make you resilient even during global upheavals like the coronavirus panic that was happening at the time of this interview. Whatever challenges confront us, we will be well equipped to handle large and small life challenges. If we truly want to find happiness, then we will need to rewire our brain to accomplish these states. VIDEO 2 Click Here to Watch Watch video clip 2 with the link in the show notes. Question asked: “How can we learn to be more in the present moment, instead of somewhere else?” Dr. Church's explanation: The brain is hardwired to identify threats for survival. Today, most of us don't face immediate threats, but the brain's Default Mode Network (DMN) keeps scanning for danger. Without real threats, it replays past negative experiences (even from years ago or childhood) and projects fear into the future (“what if it happens again?”). This keeps us stuck in the past and future, not the present moment. Monks & meditation: Monks, after years of deep meditation, trained their brains differently. Brain scans showed structural changes—the brain literally began to shrink in areas related to stress and overthinking. Key Point: Our brains are not naturally wired to live in the present moment—they default to the past or future, scanning for threats. Tip #2: Get serious about meditation. Example: Australian astrophysicist & TV journalist Graham Phillips remodeled his brain in just 8 weeks of meditation practice. VIDEO 3 Click Here to Watch Watch video clip 3 with the link in the show notes. In this clip, Dr. Church explains how “meditation changes everything” and why “20 years ago, he decided to make this commitment to daily meditation” sharing how his whole world changed after this. These are noticeable changes that were behind his motivation to write this book, Bliss Brain, to show the world how they too can reach these states of extreme happiness. He told us to go back and study historical figures who were clearly in altered states of being, like the Italian Catholic Preacher, Saint Francis of Assisi, who appears in a blissed-out state as we see in a drawing, where it looks like he is communicating with God or something divine. This beautiful blissful state, that goes beyond happiness, is available to all of us. We will cover more about the changes our brains undergo with meditation as we go back to review our interview #28 with clinical professor of psychiatry from the UCLA school of medicine, Dr. Dan Siegel[iv], on a later episode, but for now, we can conclude that we can in fact change our outside world, in a significant and powerful way, by dedicating ourselves to a daily meditation practice. Key Point: We can ALL reach this state of extreme happiness by implementing a daily meditation practice. Tip 3: We can get started with our own meditation practice (if we are not currently implementing one) by using the FREE mediations that come along with the Bliss Brain Book Or use whatever meditation program resonates with you. REVIEW AND CONCLUSION Episode 369 Wrap-Up: Bliss Brain Review with Dr. Dawson Church This week, in our review of EP 98 with Dr. Dawson Church and his book Bliss Brain, we explored how meditation can rewire the brain for happiness and presence. Key Point from Clip 1: Although we live in a safer world than 2,000 years ago, our brains weren't designed for today's environment. “We simply didn't evolve to be happy because there was no survival benefit in being happy.” Tip #1: Since happiness didn't evolve naturally, we must train our brain to achieve it. Key Point from Clip 2: Our brains default to the past or future, constantly scanning for threats, instead of resting in the present moment. Tip #2: Commit to meditation—like astrophysicist and TV journalist Graham Phillips, who saw powerful changes after just 8 weeks of his daily practice that helped him to focus in the present moment. Key Point from Clip 3: Extreme states of happiness are possible for all of us when we implement meditation consistently. Tip #3: Start small. Use the free meditations that come with Bliss Brain, or explore other guided programs until you find one that resonates with you I highly recommend watching the full interview with Dr. Church[v]—especially if you've struggled to stay consistent with your own practice. Even Dr. Church himself shares moments where he lost momentum, which is a reminder that this is a journey for all of us. Personally, I've cycled through different meditation programs—starting with John Assaraf's work, then moving on to Dr. Dan Siegel's Wheel of Awareness, using Dr. Church's Bliss Brain meditations, and now practicing Dr. Joe Dispenza's chakra-focused work. The program you choose matters less than your ability to make it a consistent daily practice—that's when the real brain changes occur. We'll see you next week as we continue exploring the Journey of the Mind, working on connecting practical science to improve our inner and outer world.

What if the key to unlocking your potential isn't talent but timing, effort, and the way your brain rewires itself? In this episode, Dr. Bray dives into the science of how learning happens, real, lasting, brain-changing learning, with insights from world-renowned neuroscientist Dr. Michael Kilgard. You'll learn why your brain doesn't change without discomfort, why sleep might be the most powerful learning tool you're ignoring, and how tools like visualization, self-testing, and even a tiny implant in your neck are helping people recover from strokes and transform their performance. Dr. Bray breaks down the four essential ingredients for rewiring your brain: focus, friction, reflection, and rest.  Dr. Bray explores real-life stories and tools you can use today to learn faster, retain more, and adapt better. Whether you're trying to pick up a new skill, overcome a setback, or simply want to sharpen your brain, this episode will shift how you think about change. This one's made to be bookmarked, shared, and revisited. QUOTES BY DR. BRAY “Your brain isn't a hard drive. It's a living, changing, messy miracle.” “One of the most underutilized productivity tools is a great nap.” “No discomfort, no change. Learning shouldn't feel easy.”
