In episode 18 I am breaking down cognitive flexibility, essentially being able to go with the flow, having higher resilience when life doesn’t go your way and the ability to adapt our behavior and thinking in response to the environment. As an added bonus I discuss several ways you can improve your cognitive flexibility. In the Botanical Bri segment, I discuss Gotu Kola, an herb known for its ability to support cognitive functions and get into the Nerd Alert section of the show, where I talk about the Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC), which is responsible for a host of cognitive functions, including emotional expression, attention allocation, and mood regulation.
