What Every Overthinker Needs to Know About How Their Brain Actually Works

Connect with me to have me lead a Mindfulness or Compassionate Communication workshop for your team, or to speak at your event. https://elysiaskye.com/contact This episode is about the neuroscience of overthinking, why self-trust is hardwired into your brain, and what's actually happening when you can't stop second-guessing yourself. Dr. Amy Albright has spent 32 years studying what happens when you blend neuroscience with spirituality. She was an atheist undergrad studying the brain when she had a massive spiritual awakening on an acupuncture table that changed the entire trajectory of her life. She went from believing science could explain everything to knowing it never will, and she's spent the decades since weaving both worlds together to help some of the most powerful leaders on the planet perform from a completely different place. In this conversation we get into where intuition actually lives in the brain and why it's connected to body awareness, what happens neurologically when you shame yourself versus when you speak to yourself with compassion, why overthinkers often have a brain hotspot that's hijacking 30% of their cognitive power, how neurofeedback therapy works and why it can feel like a psychedelic experience without any substances, and what it actually means to source your ambition from love instead of fear. If you've ever known the answer in your gut and talked yourself out of it anyway, this conversation is going to reframe everything.
