“The brain is a dangerous place… never go there alone.” 👀💭

Ever caught yourself spiraling into a story that wasn’t entirely based on facts? Yeah... us too. In this episode, Amanda, Laura, and Kendra continue their powerful Byron Katie series, diving into the stories our brains tell and the real cost of believing everything we think. Spoiler: your thoughts aren’t always truth—and they’re definitely not always helpful.

✨ Here's what we cover:

  • Why your brain creates stories—and how it tries to protect you with them

  • The sneaky ways texts, tones, and side-eyes can launch a narrative

  • How to pause the panic and look for actual evidence

  • What to do when anxiety pops up without a clear reason

  • The small but powerful shift from “judgment” to “curiosity”

  • How to find a more helpful story (even if you can’t leap to sunshine and rainbows just yet)

  • Why being a slower doctor might actually mean you're doing it right 💡

    🧠 Whether you’re dealing with imposter syndrome, feeling stuck in old beliefs, or just tired of beating yourself up—this episode will give you the tools to get curious, challenge your thoughts, and reclaim your peace.

    💬 Favorite quote:

    “Any stressful feeling is like a compassionate alarm clock that says you're caught in the dream.”

    🎧 Listen in and learn how to:

    • Recognize your “stories” in real time

    • Start fact-checking your thoughts like a scientist

    • Swap “I’m not good enough” for “What else might be true?”

    • Move from stuck to empowered, one thought at a time

      👩‍⚕️ You are not broken. You are not behind. You’re just human—and your beautiful brain is trying to help. Let’s teach it a better way.
