Mel Robbins
About this episode

After listening to this episode, your brain will not be the same. 

In this episode, you’ll learn how to stop negative thoughts, heal from past trauma, and reset your mind for peace, focus, and resilience. 

Today, neuroscientist Dr. Caroline Leaf is here to share her evidence-based, 5-step Neurocycle method that has helped millions take control of their mental health – and will help you take your power back.

Dr. Caroline Leaf is  a world renowned cognitive neuroscientist, and a pioneer in the science of neuroplasticity, which is the study of how your brain changes based on how you use your mind. 

For nearly 40 years, Dr. Leaf has been at the forefront of cognitive neuroscience, researching how you can reprogram the way your brain works by using your thoughts. 

What she teaches is life-changing: You can train your brain to work for you, not against you.

You’ll learn:

-How to break the cycle of overthinking and self-sabotage

-What trauma really does to your brain  and how to heal it

-The surprising difference between your brain and your mind (and why it matters)

-The 5-step daily practice that helps you rewire any thought pattern

This isn’t just a conversation about mindset. It’s a masterclass in the science of unlocking the power of your brain.
