In today’s episode, you are getting a step-by-step guide on how to change your mindset, stop negative thoughts, and make your mind work for you. 

What if the voice in your head — the one that criticizes, spirals, and second-guesses everything — could actually help you? 

In this powerful conversation, Mel sits down with one of the world's leading experts on the mind, Dr. Ethan Kross, PhD. He's a neuroscientist, award-winning psychologist, professor at the University of Michigan, director of The Emotion & Self Control Laboratory, and leading expert on the science of emotion, self-talk, and mental resilience. 

Today, he's here to teach you how to stop negative thoughts from running your life — using simple, science-backed tools. 

In this episode, Dr. Kross shares specific tactics, strategies, and insights you can use to break free from spiraling and reset your mind for positivity. 

If you're tired of overthinking, doubting yourself, or feeling stuck in your own head… this one’s for you. 

Class is in session, because after you listen to this, your brain will not be the same.
