Look, it’s not you. It’s your brain. Seriously! Breaking a low self-worth habit isn’t as easy as deciding to stop. Because behind the scenes of everyday life, your brain and its symphony of neurons are actually running the show. So what would happen if you decided to work with your brain instead of against it? That’s what today’s episode is all about with Nicole Vignola, or as many might know her – @nicolesneuroscience on IG. Today, she and Jessica nerd out on the neuroscience of some pretty juicy (and highly requested) topics – burnout, building a routine, procrastinating the TBM work, how overcoming adversity is good for your brain, and so. much. more. Learn the simple magic of a big, long *sigh*, how to recover from doom scrolling, and why you should embrace boredom (your brain likes it). This is the magic-meets-science conversation that is basically every TBMer’s dream convo. Get ready for actionable, easy wisdom that actually changes your day.
