What if changing your brain could change your life? In this powerful conversation, Dr. Daniel Amen sits down with Kelly Gores for a deep dive into the brain, trauma, emotional patterns, healing, and the powerful connection between what we experience and how our brains function. They explore the questions so many of us are asking: Why do we repeat the same patterns? How does trauma affect the brain? And what can we actually do to create lasting change? This is a conversation about understanding your brain—not fighting against it—and discovering what may be possible when you learn how to work with it.

What if some of the anxiety, fear, relationship patterns, or emotional pain you struggle with didn't begin with you? In this powerful conversation, Mark Wolynn, author of It Didn't Start With You, joins Dr. Daniel Amen & Tana to explore one of the most important questions in mental health: How much of what we carry was inherited from the generations before us? They unpack the hidden patterns that can travel through families — from unresolved grief and fear to attachment wounds, chronic stress, and behaviors we repeat without understanding why. Mark Wolynn shares how identifying the stories and emotional patterns passed down through our family can become a doorway to healing. Dr. Daniel Amen brings a brain-health perspective to the conversation, exploring how our experiences can shape the brain and influence the way we think, feel, and behave. This isn't about blaming your parents. It's about understanding yourself. Because when you recognize where a pattern came from, you may finally have the power to stop repeating it. You didn't choose everything you inherited. But you can choose what happens next.
