About this episode
Are you tired of feeling behind, burned out, or like you're chasing a version of success that doesn’t actually fulfill you? In this episode, we explore a gentler, more joyful way to grow: through tiny experiments. This experimental mindset helps you shift away from perfectionism and pressure, and instead approach your goals with curiosity, creativity, and self-compassion.

Dr. Anne-Laure Le Cunff is a neuroscientist, entrepreneur, and writer who used to work at Google as a global lead for digital health. As the founder of Ness Labs, Anne-Laure writes to over 100,000 subscribers about evidence-based ways to achieve more without sacrificing your mental health. Her upcoming book, Tiny Experiments, is a transformative guide for living a more experimental life, turning uncertainty into curiosity, and carving a path of self-discovery.
