Today on the podcast I want to talk to you about something that has been incredibly helpful for me in my coaching journey and in my life in general. I want to talk about how our brains work.

Specifically, I'll teach you just a little bit about the primal brain that seeks pleasure, our emotional brain, and our "higher self" brain. Don't worry, we'll keep it super simple. But learning this information has helped me to be able to see why I'm having the thoughts that I'm having, and subsequently, make choices based on what the most advanced part of my brain knows is right.

Here are the extra resources I promised:

The Teenage Brain by Frances E Jensen

The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk

(A warning about that one- it's absolutely fascinating, but is about our body and mind's relationship with trauma, so can get disturbing)
