The Toxic Cycle That’s Burning You Out—And the Simple Hack to Break Free | Ep 73


Listen Later

Ever feel like your brain is running a marathon from the moment you wake up? Jumping from one thing to the next, barely catching a breath before the day is over?

What if there was a way to work with your brain’s natural rhythm instead of constantly pushing against it? A way to feel more ease, clarity, and flow—without adding another thing to your to-do list?

In this episode, we’re talking all about brain states—those natural rhythms of the mind that shape how you feel, focus, and move through the day. Whether you’re craving more energy, better sleep, or just a little more calm in the chaos, this is for you.

  • The four main brainwave states and why they matter

  • How to wake up feeling more grounded and creative (instead of rushed & stressed)

  • The science behind flow state—and how to tap into it on demand

  • Why most of us spend too much time in "go mode" (beta brainwaves) and how to reset

  • Simple shifts that bring more balance, focus, and ease into your day

  • The one evening ritual that guarantees deeper sleep and mental clarity
