    Finding your courage to do the hard and crazy things

    Finding your courage to do the hard and crazy things

    What is courage? How do you find the strength to do more, or less when everything just seems too much? In this episode I explore this and more with Jean-Philippe Courtois, the Executive Vice President and President of Microsoft Global Sales, and the co-founder of Live for Good, a French association that aims to help young leaders develop their social or environmental projects.

    Moving Though Regret

    Moving Though Regret

    In this podcast I talk about how uncontrolled regret can affect us mentally and physically, and what we can do to learn how to manage our regrets and make them work for us and not against us. This is a replay of a Neurolive webinar I did on my app. For the full webinar AD-free, please see Neurocycle.app or look for Neurocycle on the App Store or Google Play.



    Unmanaged regret can make us feel like we are truly wading through a swamp with no end in sight. It is one of those emotions that is so crippling that it can be hard to get through the day, let alone move forward or heal. It is so easy to feel like we are drowning in our “darkest moments”.

    It's ok not to be ok!

    It's ok not to be ok!

    In this podcast I talk about the 100% happiness fallacy, and why learning how how to embrace your pain and rewrite your story is an important part of being truly happy. This is a replay of a Neurolive webinar I did on my app. For the full webinar AD-free, please see Neurocycle.app or look for Neurocycle on the App Store or Google Play.



    Does it feel to you like you must be happy all the time? Often, it feels like happiness and being positive is touted as the wonder drug to solve our problems. It is easy to feel like there is something wrong with you if you are not as happy as other people seem to be! Yes, being happy and optimistic ways can have a positive impact on our mind, brain and body, but thinking happy thoughts doesn't just eliminate whatever we are going through.

    Confronting the “good girl” trap with Elise Loehnen

    Confronting the “good girl” trap with Elise Loehnen

    In this podcast I talk to bestselling author and podcast host Elise Loehnen about being a woman in today’s world, the price we as women pay to be “good” and “on our best behavior”, how this impacts our mental wellbeing, and so much more!

    -Apollo Neuro: To get $50 off your device, just go to apolloneuro.com/drleaf.  




    Elise is also the author of the New York Times bestseller On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good. This incredible book “weaves together history, memoir, and cultural criticism to explore the ways patriarchy lands in the bodies of women and embeds itself in our consciousness—and what we then police in ourselves and in each other”.  It is about the way we as women are programmed by culture and society to adhere to certain ideas about “goodness”. in many ways, women, from young are programmed to be on their best behavior, while men are programmed to be powerful, which affects all parts of a woman’s life.

Hypothalamic amenorrhea

Thank you Dr. Caroline for all the fantastic & life-changing health and mindset education! Would you consider a podcast episode on hypothalamic amenorrhea? I think this is a big issue for a lot of women with very little education. My daughter age 21 has not had a period for a year and has also had a very weird leg fracture. We are struggling to find a provider/specialist to properly diagnose possible genetic and endocrine factors as well as dietary/cognitive behavioral psychological factors. We would appreciate any provider resources/connections you can share! Blessings!

The Feminine

Thank you for talking about this issue!! This was so powerful! I love the light you shine on what we have learned to be “ok” with!! I LOVE this episode.

This is everything

I have spent many years reviewing various tools and leaders to help in cleaning up the mental mess, and I’ve never found anyone like Dr. Leaf. Her program is all inclusive. It’s a one stop shop.
