352. It’s Okay to Not Be Okay — How to Rewire Your Mind with Dr. Caroline Leaf
Dr. Caroline Leaf takes us on a journey through the science of the mind–brain connection. You’ll learn powerful tools to manage moments of anxiety, overwhelm, and panic—based on neuroplasticity and her signature Neurocycle method.
Highlights include:
-
How to reframe your inner narrative with intentional breathing, validation, and cognitive shifts.
-
The difference between mind vs. brain, and why your mind drives 99% of your experience.
-
The importance of the five-step Neurocycle, practiced over 63 days, to rewire toxic thought patterns and build lasting resilience.
-
Why “it’s okay to not be okay,” and how healthy acknowledgment, not suppression, leads to transformation.
