Welcome to Building Your Best Brain, the podcast where we explore neuroscience-backed principles to help you build resilience, regulate stress, and show up as the fullest version of yourself.
In this episode, I'm sharing a very personal story: how I reprogrammed my brain for my PhD defense and how the day ended up going better than I could have ever imagined.
This episode is a behind-the-scenes look at what that process actually looked like.
In this episode, we cover:
-
How I unpacked the root cause of my exhaustion and stress in the weeks leading up to my PhD defense
-
How I reprogrammed an intention for how I wanted to experience my defense — rather than trying to control exactly what would happen
-
What happened when my "worst fear" actually came to life during my defense
-
Why the outcome was still better than I could have imagined
If you'd like to explore these concepts further, join me for my free Pick My Brain webinar series, where we dive deeper into the neuroscience and practical application of these concepts and answer your questions live.
Have a wonderful day, and I look forward to connecting with you in the next episode.
