In this episode, Earl and Mariam dive deep into The Neuroscience of Gratitude—breaking down what actually happens in your brain when you pause and say “thank you.” From activating the medial prefrontal cortex and the nucleus accumbens to boosting dopamine and serotonin, gratitude turns into a natural mood-reset button that lowers stress and strengthens your emotional resilience.
Together, Earl and Mariam explore how Hebb’s Law (“neurons that fire together, wire together”) explains why gratitude literally rewires your brain for positivity. They also share fun and creative ways to practice gratitude—like memory jars, journal art, vision boards, and gratitude letters—that help you turn science into everyday rituals.
Whether you’re crafting, journaling, or looking to shift your mindset, this episode shows how just 15 minutes of gratitude can help transform your mood, strengthen relationships, and build long-lasting emotional balance.
