I have something super special to share with you this week!
We asked our listeners for feedback on their favorite episodes of The Big Talk Podcast, and overwhelming people responded that they loved my conversation with Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor. I spoke with her in Episode 577 about Whole Brain Living, and today, you have the opportunity to hear our conversation again!
Dr. Jill’s work is so powerful, and I truly believe that by understanding and applying it, we can raise the collective consciousness and the vibration of humanity in the universe for love.
In this episode, we’ll explore:
What happened when Dr. Jill’s TED Talk was the first one to ever go viral
The four characters that correspond to specific parts of your brain
How understanding and utilizing all four of these characters can lead to a balanced, conscious, and harmonious life
Why embracing Whole Brain Living could bring about a significant positive shift in human consciousness and societal norms
