53: Rewiring for Recovery: Insights on Resilience from Michelle Steffes
With guest Michelle Steffes, we explore the art of resilience and pull back the curtain on how our brains can be sculpted by our experiences, to either hinder or help our ability to recover from life's setbacks. With Michelle's expertise in neuroscience and neuroplasticity, we dispel misconceptions and look into how daily habits and routines can fortify our mental muscles.
We also discuss the ripple effects of mindful morning practices, such as gratitude and cognitive exercises, which can help rewire a brain plagued by PTSD or other traumas. And discuss how persistent actions cultivate a robust mindset, challenging listeners to consider what exchange game they're playing with their daily choices, inspired by the strategies from Atomic Habits by James Clear.
Michelle L. Steffes is the CEO and cofounder of IPV Consulting, a speaker, and the author of two books: Reframe and Rewire: Greatness Through Daily Routine and a children’s book The Machine Inside Me: How to change your brain and discover the power within you! Both are written from over 10,000 hours of study in the science of habits and human achievement. She is also host of the podcast, Reframe and Rewire.
