What if your brain isn’t in charge? What if your mind, your thoughts, your awareness, your choices—is actually directing your brain, not the other way around? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Caroline Leaf, a communication pathologist, audiologist, and neuroscientist who spent 40 years proving what the medical establishment refused to believe: your mind can rewire your brain. She explains why habits actually take 63 days to form (not 21), why rehearsing trauma keeps you trapped in it, and how a 60-second pause can interrupt panic attacks, people-pleasing spirals, and chronic pain patterns before they take over. Start directing your own neuroplasticity. Healing is just around the corner.
