Ever feel like being available to everyone, all the time, is slowly draining you?

In this episode of Sarah’s Thoughts, Sarah Grynberg reflects on the hidden cost of constant accessibility, the pings, calls, and emails that keep our nervous system on high alert and scatter our attention away from what really matters.

You’ll learn:

*Why being endlessly responsive isn’t connection, but depletion.

*How small boundaries around your phone and time can restore your energy.

*What it feels like to trade shallow availability for deeper, more present relationships.

This isn’t an episode about disconnecting from the world. It’s about reclaiming your presence, so the people and projects you love receive the whole of you, not just the scraps.

Want to manifest your dreams into reality? 

Joining Sarah Grynberg is neurosurgeon, neuroscientist and the founder of the Centre for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education at Stanford University, James Doty. James is a leader in the study of the effects of compassion, manifestation, altruism and stillness on the human brain, and the author of new book, Mind Magic.

In this insightful conversation, James and Sarah discuss the techniques needed to manifest dreams into reality, the power of the subconscious, how to manifest a partner of your dreams, how from violence and poverty - which was his own background - a person can still conquer their goals, and why having limiting beliefs holds a person back from what they really want.

Want to know how to harness your brain and heart, to transform your dreams into reality? James has the secrets and the science.

You’ll learn:

*Why busyness often masks exhaustion rather than meaning.

*How presence and engagement differ from simply doing more.

*Practical ways to shift from crammed days to days that feel full of life.

This isn’t an episode about abandoning hard work. It’s about recognising that motion isn’t the same as purpose and that the richest memories often come when we slow down enough to truly live them.
