About This Podcast
Change of Mind is a neuroscience-informed podcast about how we adapt, grow, and keep functioning when life doesn’t go to plan.
Hosted by a registered nurse and neuroscience educator, the show blends clinical experience, lived caregiving reality, and brain science to explore burnout, neuroplasticity, nervous system regulation, neurodivergence, and mental load.
Short, evidence-based episodes for people living complex lives — and still becoming.
