Have you ever felt like life’s chaos is running you into the ground, leaving you overwhelmed, burnt out, and disconnected?


In this episode which is also a recording of my exclusive community meet-up, we’re going into the power of brain health, resilience, and simple recovery tools with Dr. Patrick Porter, author of Thrive in Overdrive. Together, we explore how stress impacts our brain and body, and the small, intentional shifts we can make to feel calmer, clearer, and more energized.


This isn’t about perfection or adding more to your plate—it’s about practical strategies you can implement today to thrive in the middle of your busy life.


You’ll learn:


  • Stress is inevitable—but recovery is key: Learn why regulating your nervous system helps you recharge and handle life’s challenges with more ease.

  • Small tools make a big difference: Techniques like box breathing, grounding, and resetting your patterns can transform your day.

  • Sleep is non-negotiable: Discover why deep sleep is essential for brain and body repair, and how to optimize it without relying on pills.

  • Boundaries matter: How saying no and prioritizing your time can help you reclaim your power and avoid burnout.

  • Embrace brain entrainment: Tools like Brain Tap can support neuroplasticity and make rewiring old patterns easier than ever.
