    New Year, Same You: Let's Break Through

    In this episode of the BMRL Podcast, we unpack why so many career-focused New Year’s resolutions fall apart within weeks—and why it’s rarely about discipline or motivation. Drawing on real-life leadership experience and behavioral insight, we explore the habits that actually support professionals who carry full workloads, complex responsibilities, and constant decision fatigue. We discuss: The small set of habits that matter most for career momentumWhy professionals lose focus and consistency—even when they’re capableCommon distractions that quietly derail progressHow to stay on track without burning out or starting overThis conversation isn’t about becoming a “new you.” It’s about protecting your energy, simplifying your systems, and staying consistent with who you already are. New year. Same you. Just more intentional.

    Not every workplace challenge looks like burnout or quiet quitting. Sometimes it’s quieter, small cracks in energy, connection, and motivation that slowly spread beneath the surface. That’s quiet cracking.

    Why I Scanned My Brain: Part II

    In this vulnerable and eye-opening episode, business psychologist Stacey Pitts Caldwell shares what it was like to receive her brain scan results from Amen Clinics. The summary revealed patterns of both overactivity and under-activity across key regions: heightened thalamus and basal ganglia activity linked to anxiety and irritability; under-activity in the prefrontal cortex, cerebellum, and temporal lobes tied to focus, organization, and mood regulation challenges; plus signs of past injury and early cortical atrophy. Would she recommend a brain scan to others? Stacey shares a thoughtful answer—acknowledging the cost and access barriers, while highlighting the powerful self-awareness such an assessment can bring. This episode blends science, personal reflection, and professional insight, offering an honest look at what it means to truly see your brain and what to do with the knowledge it gives you.

    Why I Scanned My Brain

    In this powerful premiere episode of Brain at Work, business psychologist Stacey Pitts Caldwell opens up about her decision to undergo a brain scan at the renowned Amen Clinics. Inspired after watching Dr. Daniel Amen on The Diary of a CEO, Stacey began to question how years of high-performance leadership, mounting stress, and the onset of perimenopause were affecting her brain health. With a deep commitment to personal insight and professional growth, she shares what led her to invest in a SPECT scan—a neuroimaging tool that maps brain function and blood flow. Stacey walks listeners through the comprehensive assessment process, which examines biological, psychological, social, and spiritual factors that shape well-being. The episode dives into how brain function influences leadership effectiveness, decision-making, and productivity—especially for high-achieving professionals. From addressing the price tag to exploring access and equity in mental health care, this episode sets the stage for a deeply personal and thought-provoking series. Whether you're a leader, coach, or simply brain-curious, Stacey’s journey challenges you to rethink what it really means to take care of your mind.
