Patience used to feel like something you either had or didn’t.

But life — and caregiving — have a way of showing us that patience isn’t a trait, it’s a skill we build. One heartbeat, one breath, one moment at a time. 💛

This week’s Brainwave Dispatch explores how patience works inside the brain — and how to strengthen it when life tests your calm.

🌿 The science (and soul) of staying steady.

You don’t have to go far — or buy a thing — to find moments to be together. 🌞

This week’s Living Spaces is all about the patio: that in-between spot where you can breathe, reset, and reconnect.

Small shifts like sharing morning coffee, watering plants together, or simplifying the setup can turn “just another space” into your Great Escape… right at home.

👉 Swipe through for three simple ways to shift the patio a place of calm and connection.

Feeling foggy, flat, or just not quite you lately? Before you chalk it up to “getting older,” check your B’s.

The B's...
These unsung vitamins are the quiet crew behind your brain’s best work — mood, memory, and mental energy — and most of us over 50 are running low.

In this week’s Brainwave Dispatch, I’m breaking down:
⚡ the specific B’s your body can’t live without
🔬 why absorption drops with age
💊 how to find the right kind of supplement (hint: “methylated” matters)

It’s science-nerdy, brain-savvy, and surprisingly simple.
Your neurons are ready for a recharge — are you?

🧬 Read The Brilliant B’s — out October 9, 2025.
