Dr. Jill Taylor, a Harvard-trained brain scientist who had a stroke at age 37, encourages people to find inner peace with whole brain living—in other words, understanding how our brain organizes our thoughts and feelings in order to become who we want to be.

In today's clip, Dr. Taylor focuses on what happens in the teenage brain as it changes. Yet this also seems applicable to us as moms, as our own brains and bodies face changes in midlife. The knowledge she shares might just help us approach ourselves and our kids with more grace, as we understand what's happening in our brains.
