When the mind feels scattered, sometimes what we need isn’t discipline but rewiring—a way to turn curiosity and compassion toward the patterns running our lives. In this episode, I sit down with Christine Schickinger, a former S&P 500 executive turned NeuroPositive Coach, who shares how neuroscience, mindfulness, and art-based methods like NeuroGraphica can help us move from overwhelm to calm focus. Christine’s own path from corporate leadership through burnout to healing reveals how the brain, body, and spirit can reconnect when we start observing instead of resisting.

Together, we explore how NeuroPositive, her signature approach, weaves together Presence, Perspective, Progress, and Purpose to create micro-resilience moments that quiet the mind and restore balance. During the episode, Christine guides me through a live NeuroGraphica exercise—an expressive, meditative drawing process that translates inner tension into visual flow and insight. Even if you’re just listening, you’ll feel how this gentle method brings the nervous system back to stillness.

Christine also shares the lessons animals can teach us about authentic leadership, empathy, and trust—reminding us that wellness begins in how we relate, not just how we perform.
