Today’s episode will reframe how you think about your thoughts and mind. I’m sitting down with Dr. Lee Warren, a neurosurgeon and author, to talk about how your brain actually works and why the patterns running your life aren’t permanent.

 

We're diving into the neuroscience behind why your thoughts literally reshape your brain, how high-performing women can break free from limiting patterns, what God designed your brain to actually do, and yes, we're talking about social media, short-form content, and what it is doing to your brain without you even realizing it.

 

Here’s the hope you need today: you are not a victim of your mind. You’re not stuck with the brain you have, and you’re not powerless against old patterns. This conversation will show you how to intentionally rewire your thoughts and change the direction of your life from the inside out.
