Your mind doesn't record. Tt builds meaning.

In this episode, Dr. Caroline Leaf breaks down why photographic memory is a myth, what your inner critic is actually trying to tell you, and why understanding a problem and restructuring it are two completely different things. Plus: the real difference between self-worth, self-confidence, and self-love — and why you can have all the achievements and still feel hollow.
