Just Breathe Podcast

In this episode, I’m using my slightly neglected sourdough starter to talk about something our brains do really well: default thinking. Just like a hungry starter can collect a layer of hooch, our minds can collect familiar thoughts like I’m behind, I should be doing more, or something is probably going to go wrong.
