Patrick K. Porter, PhD. dedicated his life to studying neuropsychology. For years it was believed that we have a set number of brain cells, that our intelligence quotient is fixed, and that our brains do not change. Dr. Porter’s clinical experience and research told a different story, revealing that the human brain is, in fact, plastic, making it capable of change, improvement, and expansion.

Dr. Porter’s exploration sparked incredible transformation for thousands of people. In 2014, with the emerging Apple and Android mobile devices, he saw the opportunity to impact millions by leveraging these new mobile app platforms by founding the brain fitness company – BrainTap®.

Today I am honored to have a conversation with Dr. Porter to discuss what BrainTap is and how its brain fitness benefits extend far beyond sleep and stress reduction to help our brains function at peak performance and our bodies to reset to its natural rhythm.

I've been using BrainTap personally and with my clients for over 5 years and have seen the benefits first hand. My sleep improved, my memory, focus and concentration have all been enhanced using BrainTap daily

In this podcast episode, we explore the experience of receiving an ADHD diagnosis as an adult and the challenges and opportunities that come with it. Our guest, Erica Hague, was diagnosed with ADHD in her 50s, she shares their journey of self-discovery and acceptance, from recognizing the symptoms and seeking professional help to finding a supportive community and developing coping strategies. We also discuss the stigma and misconceptions surrounding ADHD, the impact of late diagnosis on mental health and relationships, and the benefits of reframing ADHD as a neurodivergent trait rather than a disorder. Finally, we offer tips and resources for anyone who suspects they may have ADHD or knows someone who does, and emphasize the importance of seeking professional guidance and understanding oneself holistically.

Today is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the Lenten Season in the Christian community.  Lent is a time of reflection, introspection and resolute decision making.  The name Ash Wednesday came from the practice of people putting ashes on their foreheads as a sign of repentance for their sins.

As I celebrate Lent I offer my reflections on the call of all Christians during this season and offer a moment of silence for introspection.  I hope this episode encourages you and helps you reflect on opportunities to do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with God.

How many times have you had a moment where you could sincerely pause and rest but you quickly find ways to fill the time?  Rest isn't just for your body, it's for your mind, soul and spirit as well.  In this episode we'll reflect on the importance of rest and divine moments when we're able to settle in the presence of the Lord.  It's in these intentional moments that we're able to hear what needs to be heard, ingest what nourishes us and reflect on what grows us.  Rest is the prelude to all the wonderful things the future has to hold.  Join me today for a moment of rest.

I struggled for decades with choosing to deeply care for me.  I find it extremely easy to identify the needs of others and find deep fulfillment in helping.  But as for me, I never felt comfortable making myself a priority.  After several panic attacks that led to ER visits and a hospitalization I could no longer ignore who needed my attention, me.  

I’ve worked with over 300 women who struggled to commit to themselves.  I helped them learn to forgive themselves for neglecting who they were for the sake of everything and everyone else.  Women from all walks of life learned to take hold of the freedom that comes with loving yourself enough to embrace and nurture the wonderful women they were uniquely designed to be.  No striving, just being
.
I blend support with neuroscience and state of the art technology to truly help my clients meet goals they didn’t realize they had until they slowed down, reflected on their needs and wants and got real about the commitment it takes to simply become.  

I’d love to help you do the same.

Meditative practices are vast and many and we often are practicing meditation without being aware that's what we're doing.  I saw a video on Instagram that so beautifully demonstrated this title "Go Lay Down".  It was sung by @who_she_naje.  In each new video someone joined in split screen and added their harmony to her original video and it was peaceful, familiar and comforting, particularly to those of us in the African American community that are familiar with "long verse" being sung in the Black Church.  Little did we know "long verse" was actually a Christian meditative practice.  The harmony, vibration, spiritual connotation....similiar to chanting that is practices by many monks.  The 5000 year old practice of Christian meditation is beautiful, calming and a wonderful spiritual practice that keeps you present, realigns your mind, body, soul and spirit and draws you closer to the Lord as its sole purpose is being present.....the Lord sets the intention.
