In this episode, I dive deep into the concept of a Dopamine Detox, inspired by the book Dopamine Nation by Dr. Anne Lemke. I share what dopamine is, how overstimulation throws off our brain’s balance of pain and pleasure, and why I’m personally committing to stepping back from cannabis and shopping for the month of January. This episode isn’t just personal—it’s a call to reflect on your own habits, regain control, and start 2025 with clarity, intention, and purpose. Plus, I invite you to join the Dopamine Detox Challenge I’m hosting in January!
