Darlene reminisces about movies that deal with matters of the brain such as “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (does that date her?), and The Notebook (who didn’t completely bawl through that one?). She goes on to share the frustrating story of her walking into a room 3x because she kept forgetting what she was going into the room for. She thought she was losing it; it was simply her brain telling her….Too Much Going On! Darlene counts on nature to feed her mind!

For Belinda and her brain, the joke at home is...Where are the keys??? Did you know that your brain can dry out? Belinda speaks to her new found knowledge on the Lion’s Mane Mushroom and how fantastic it is for brain function. Going through a recent loss in the family, Belinda also shares how grief affects your brain.

Piper educates us on a couple of bi-directional adaptogenic herbs that are phenomenal for when you are feeling overwhelmed. This rejuvenates and enhances brain function and who can’t use that!!!! Rosemary is the herb of remembrance and great when you are studying or recall when you’re writing the exam. Also learn why you want the BEST Omega 3 rich fatty acids as your brain feeds off this. Healthy blood flow, repair, neuroplasticity...Hello!!!! Piper closes with speaking to hydration. Its what keeps our electrolytes balanced. Our brain needs to be bathed in electrolytes. It’s all about movement and flow.

Connie boldly shares that this is about putting things out to The Universe and being heard. Stress is not good for the brain so it’s important to learn how to manage that. Breathing is key. Friends are also a great way to stay sharp. Connection is integral! Connie goes on to share the importance of learning something new especially later in life because it rewires your brain. As an employer, Connie gives us keys relating to knowing how people learn. Also being honest with yourself and how you learn and why you want to surround yourself with people who learn differently than you.
