Joy Lives in the Present: The Science (and Sanity) of Being Here Now with Neuroscientist Dorsey Standish
What if slowing down could be the most courageous (and powerful) move you make?
This week on WTF: Where’s the FUN, we’re joined by the brilliant Dorsey Standish—a mechanical engineer, cognitive neuroscientist, mindfulness expert, and CEO of Mastermind. Dorsey’s mission is to help high performers rewire their brains for better focus, resilience, and joy—without burning out.
In this inspiring conversation, Dorsey shares her journey from engineer to wellness expert, the science behind mindfulness, and how small, sustainable shifts can have a huge impact on your health, happiness, and success.
Together, we dive into: ✨ The courage it takes to slow down—and why it matters

✨ Practical tips for improving sleep, mental health, and emotional well-being
