"Worry is a misuse of the imagination." - Dan Zadra

Have you ever caught yourself daydreaming but snapped out of it to go back to work?

If so, then you've experienced the dreamy side of the Default Mode Network.

Unfortunately, this network also gets activated when we're racked with worry and fear!

In this episode, I'll teach you the neuroscience behind how 4 major networks of your brain work together to push you toward fear or fantasy.

Then, I'll introduce some practical strategies to manage worry and discuss the importance of awareness and resilience training.

Our survival brain is VERY concerned with money because it's how we get food, shelter, and all the things we need to survive.

But is it possible that a$$holes make more money? 🤑

They might, and here's the neuroscience behind WHY.

Our beliefs about money are shaped in part from childhood examples and adult experiences.

One big component of a healthy money mindset involves confidence.

However, many of my clients had childhood experiences where they were told to "be nice or good" at the expense of their own desires and physical or emotional needs.

The result? They subconsciously confused confidence with selfishness or arrogance.

Confidence and arrogance are on the same spectrum and the difference between them is a small but significant one.

Confidence says: "I'm good at what I do" while also allowing others to be the same. It's inclusive. 😍

Arrogance says: "I'm good at what I do. In fact, I'm better than you and there's no way you're as good as me." It's exclusive. 😡

When it comes to success and performance, we tend to perform at the level of our subconscious belief system.

Our belief systems collectively help create our identity.

The thing about a$$holes is they are FIRM in their belief about how wonderful they are.

They're not in conflict about it and any opinion you have doesn't rattle them at all.

From a neuroscience perspective, they're in total conscious and subconscious alignment.

So, their brain and nervous system act accordingly to bring them what they've programmed it for: money, power, and success.

Meanwhile, amazing people like yourself aren't having the same experience.

The difference is in the doubt.

You don't have to be an a$$hole to make more money.

But you will need to ditch the doubt, upgrade your belief system, and get rid of the mental and emotional clutter that's getting in the way.

When you want to improve your health, it's common to make substitutions.

❌Dairy ice cream
✅Coconut ice cream

❌Sugary sodas
✅Sugar-free soda

❌Smoking ci******es
✅Vaping

The problem? These substitutions aren't that different or even healthier!

If you're trying to improve your physical or mental health, there's a trick to working with your brain to support and accept a habit change.

In the latest episode of Bite-Sized Brilliance, I'll dive into the neuroscience of making substitutions—whether in food, habits, or addictions.

I'll also explain why some swaps work and others don’t, and how to break free from autopilot to create lasting change.

Since 2011, I've been doing mind body work first as a doctor and currently as a neuroscience coach.

Over the years, I’ve seen a pattern in clients, colleagues, and (back in my doctor days) even myself:

High-functioning people running on empty while struggling to manage stress in ways that actually last.

Many solutions out there focus primarily on mindset, surface-level self-care, or slowing down so hard that you practically stop.

Living a soft life may sound fun when you're in burnout, but it won't address what’s really going on underneath — in the nervous system, in the brain, and in the body.

That’s why I'm creating something different.

The Neuroscience of Stress — Founders Launch Waitlist Now Open!

This is a science-based program designed to help you understand the neuroscience of how stress works in your brain and body and how to release it in a sustainable way.

In this 8-week group coaching program, you’ll learn how to:

✅Identify and interrupt your personal stress patterns
✅Support your nervous system using evidence-based tools
✅Reclaim mental clarity, sleep, focus, and energy
✅Build a personalized resilience plan based on your biology

The approach draws from neuroscience, cognitive behavioral therapy, nervous system education, and brain boosting health essentials.

The Neuroscience of Stress is a practical foundation to help you operate with more capacity, better boundaries, and less reactivity in work and in life.

If you're interested in being a part of this first private group (at the lowest rate it will ever be offered), you can join the waitlist below.

As part of the Founders Launch, you’ll get early access, extra personal support, exclusive perks, and the chance to help shape the final version of the program.

If you’ve been looking for something grounded, thoughtful, and actually useful for stress, this is it.

I hope to see your name on the list, my friend!

"A Jack of all trades is a master of none..."

You're probably pretty familiar with this quote, right?

Maybe you've said it to yourself, or someone has mentioned it to you because you're multi-passionate or love to try new things.

Unfortunately, this quote is often used in a derogatory way.

If you're not doing what other people think you "should", then it's used to point out how you're different.

Usually in a shameful kind of way.

Recently, I learned two surprising things about this quote.

It was written by William Shakespeare. Seriously, is there anything that guy can't write?
This quote has a SECOND PART that totally changes its meaning!

Here's the quote in its entirety: "A jack of all trades is a master of none, but often times better than a master of one."

Whaaaaat?!

The story around that quote that you've been beating yourself up about for YEARS really means that being diverse is the best possible outcome!

This is what happens when we only get one side of the story.

Everything we see, hear, think, feel, and believe about ourselves or others becomes part of our story.

Too often, that story was created by hand-me-down beliefs or programming from others.

This is your invitation to change outdated or harmful stories.

This week, get curious and dig into a long-held belief of yours that may not be true.

Let me know if you need some help with that, my friend!

Let's be honest, most of us don't really enjoy pain!

Our brain is designed to take us away from pain and toward pleasure.

Sounds reasonable, right?

The problem is that you have 3 brains, and they don't agree about what constitutes pain and pleasure.

In the latest episode of Bite-Sized Brilliance, we'll discuss how pain can be a good thing for our growth and why we need it.

Do you remember the Cherokee parable about the 2 wolves?

If you need a refresher, here's a quick summary:

We all have 2 wolves inside of us, and they're locked in a constant battle.

One wolf is evil and filled with rage, hate, jealousy, arrogance, and greed.

The other wolf is good and filled with joy, love, generosity, truth, and peace.

Which wolf wins? The one you feed.

Good vs Evil stories are found in all cultures because they teach us about the dangers of imbalance.

This may be no surprise to you, but your brain also has a daily battle between chaos and safety programming happening in the background.

😈Team Chaos: The part of your brain that seeks novelty, new frontiers or experiences, and craves the next dopamine hit.

🤩Team Safety: The part of your brain that finds comfort and psychological safety in routines, expected outcomes, and feeling like you're in control.

You might be tempted to only support your good wolf or Team Safety, but we really need a balance.

Here are a few examples where embracing chaos can be helpful:

✅New experiences help you grow and become courageous
✅Chaos often inspires creativity and increased problem solving
✅Righteous anger can be used to facilitate change and enforce healthy boundaries

How can you tell if you're imbalanced? Easy!

If chaos is in control, you'll experience anxiety, intrusive thoughts, focus on worst-case scenarios, negative self-talk, and expect things to fall apart.😈

Too much safety and you'll stay in your bubble, turn down new opportunities or invitations, begin to feel depressed, unhappy, bored, lonely, and stuck. 🫢

Finding the right balance is the key to harmonizing your brain and life.

What that looks like is unique to you because of how your thoughts, feelings, and experiences shaped your life.

If you're tired of cookie cutter strategies, then it's time for a system that's bespoke.

Happy 4th of July! 💥🎆

Since it's the 4th, let's talk about freedom for a minute.

Specifically, freedom from a scarcity mindset around your money, job, and all your material resources.

We all know that money is important because it supplies us with the survival basics and ensures a level of comfort and safety.

Doing money mindset work to overcome scarcity is important, but what happens when you've done all the "right" things, but your financial situation hasn't improved?

There's a sneaky sabotage that's more about deficiency rather than scarcity and solving this mindset block can be the very thing that helps you level up!

In the latest episode of Bite-Sized Brilliance, I'm breaking down how to overcome a sneaky sabotage that has major ramifications to your finances and self-esteem: The Deficiency Factor.

This is not a post about AI! 🤖

No, my friends. This is a post about Walmart.

Walmart recently decided to remove ALL of their self-checkout lanes due to massive theft and profit loss.

But it wasn't just about losing inventory and revenue.

It was a battle against human nature and psychology.

There have always been dishonest people who go shopping with the intention to steal, but Walmart discovered something else.

The average citizen who stole as an act of:

👊Rebellion against corporate policies or a perceived notion of corporate greed

🤷‍♀️A lowered psychological barrier to theft because "no one's really watching"

😜The self-justification mode of thinking where "It's only a small thing and just this once."

😡 An act of spite because if "they make you self-checkout" then you deserve a little compensation for your work (i.e. stealing)

Walmart found that the technology couldn't beat some aspects of human nature. 😲

Their solution was to bring back the humans!

Although Walmart (and other retailers) had good intentions like making checkout faster and easier, they discovered a little too late that humans need other humans.

We're wired to seek community, interaction, and support.

Chatting with another person, even briefly, can have positive benefits for our mental, emotional, and physical health.

Faster isn't always better.
Convenience isn't always king.
Analog is the new luxury.

If you're thinking about reinventing yourself or your business, don't forget the human factor.

As Walmart is discovering, "rehumanizing" may be the smarter move.

My Story

Passionate About Inspiring Others

Have you ever had a significant event in your life that fundamentally changed the course of it? In 2006, I was injured in a workplace accident that left me with chronic back pain for years. I tried a variety of natural and conventional therapies until I finally found relief with the non-drug therapy Neuro-Emotional Technique (N.E.T.). Within just a few sessions, the back pain that had plagued me for years was completely gone.

It was at that moment that I began to understand the power that trapped stress has on the body.After graduating from medical school, I began training to bring this powerful technique to others and eventually dedicated my entire practice to helping people with anxiety and stress relief. Since Neuro-Emotional Technique (N.E.T.) had such a powerful effect on her life, I became passionate about helping people suffering with anxiety regain confidence, happiness, and the ability to move forward from situations keeping them stuck.

After several years of helping others through Neuro-Emotional Technique (N.E.T.), I began combining this revolutionary therapy with proven success strategies to bring about a truly transformational experience for my clients. This combination uncovers subconscious patterns that have caused self-sabotaging behaviors and gives you the opportunity for complete freedom and empowerment.
