Your Brain isn't Broken, it's Hungry
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. Familiar doesn’t necessarily mean true. Sometimes it just means practiced. We’ll talk about why our brains get so efficient at familiar thought patterns, how to notice the “hooch”...

Have you ever found yourself thinking, "I just need a vacation"? I know I have. In this episode, we explore a surprising truth: changing your location doesn't automatically change your experience.

There are 2 Sides to Every Coin
Episode 5: There Are Two Sides to Every Coin What if the very thing you've spent years criticizing about yourself is connected to one of your greatest strengths? In this episode of Just Breathe, I'm inviting you to look at yourself through a different lens.
