77. How The Brain Works

Ashlie Molstad
About this episode

I listened to a podcast episode this week that floored me. It was on Theo Von’s podcast, This Past Weekend. He had complex trauma specialist, Tim Fletcher on, and together they talked about what complex trauma looks like as a kid, and then as an adult.

I always love learning about the brain and how it works. And if you do too, that episode is for you! I also share some of my other favorite resources that have taught me so much about how our brains work. Hopefully you love them as much as I do!

See you inside💥
