About The Brain BS Podcast: Experimenting With Consciousness in Santa Barbara

Maureen Kafkis is a Doctor of Occupational Therapy, the Brain BS™ coach, and the host of The Brain BS™ Podcast (previously The Power of Community & Collaboration Podcast). When she learned that the average human brain has over 60,000 thoughts a day and that most of them are lies (Brain BS™) that cause needless suffering, she started to learn how to separate the fact from fiction in her mind and has never looked back. Maureen truly believes that living consciously, understanding how your brains work, and learning to feel your feelings are necessary for an empowering and fulfilling life. She brings her expertise and extensive knowledge to inspire people in the SB area and beyond to learn how to live consciously, tap into their personal power and become leaders in their community. In a world where there is so much division and way too much focus on competition, the Brain BS™ Coach is promoting a conscious community and lifestyle built on leadership energy, collaboration, and mutual support. She is doing that because the power of the collective far exceeds anything that can be done at the individual level and it’s just way more fun! If we all consciously collaborate with one another and succeed together we can have a substantial ripple effect that will extend far beyond our local community. Listen and learn how you can add value to your own community! Check out https://www.thebrainbs.com/ to learn more about the Brain BS™ Coach and what she is all about!
