The Mindful Brain: Why Your Brain Reacts the Way It Does—and How to Work With It

 

In this episode, I take you on a deep dive into how your brain really works when it comes to stress, anxiety, learning, and mindfulness. From the amygdala to the default mode network to interoception and neuroplasticity—we’ll unpack what’s happening behind the scenes and how you can work with your brain instead of against it.

This is the kickoff to my new series focused on practical mindfulness tools to support your riding, your business, and your everyday life. There’s a lot in this episode, so take your time with it—listen in sections or come back to it when you need a reset.

Topics include:
✔️ The fight-or-flight response
✔️ Negative bias and perceived danger
✔️ Why multitasking doesn’t work
✔️ The power of interoception (body awareness)
✔️ How mindfulness rewires the brain for growth

And more.
