The Empowered Brain

You’ll want to listen to this podcast. Vanessa is so wise and does an incredible job of providing guidance on how to be a mentally healthier, joyful, and more effective & resilient person, combining different intelligences to support her ideas and lived experience.

Vanessa has a breadth of professional experience using science based research to connect the human being with their ancestry and our brain neuroscience to better understand myself as a person. As a First-Generation Latina woman growing up and living in the Midwest, she has helped me become aware of so much more! Many episodes dive deep and others keep it skills based - highly recommend!!

After listening to one episode of The Empowered Brain, I was hooked! Vanessa continually shows up authentically and demonstrates through sharing examples of her own challenges, how we can all be at peace with ourselves while simultaneously working towards achieving our goals and dreams. Her expertise in Science and Psychology combined with her incredible life experiences are continually thread throughout the episodes and serve as the ideal background to draw upon lessons that we can all apply to our individual lives. Vanessa’s understanding of the human condition and the high achiever mentality is above the rest in this wellness/coaching space. I have been listening for a year now and am so grateful to have stumbled upon this.

Wow, what a great podcast! The episode about preparing for and navigating holiday stressors is so spot on. Everyone needs to listen and share it with others. Thanks, Dr. Calderon, for sharing your gifts.
