    Dream Big, Wire Bigger: Mark Pentecost on Mindset That Rewires Your Brain

    Why do some people turn vision into reality—again and again? In this episode, I sit down with entrepreneur and philanthropist Mark Pentecost, founder of It Works! and author of Life of Your Dreams. Mark went from high school teacher and coach to building a global business—and now teaches others how to “train” vision like a muscle. We’ll map his practical steps onto the neuroscience of behavior change, so you can learn how environment, micro-habits, and meaning rewire your brain for sustainable success. What you’ll learn in this episode: ✅ How to “train” vision like a muscle (and pick the right rooms) ✅ A tiny daily rehearsal that locks in momentum ✅ How to reconceptualize failure so it upgrades your wiring ✅ Why purpose & generosity improve mental regulation Follow Mark on Instagram: @themarkpentecost Order Mark’s New Book “The Life of Your Dreams” https://www.amazon.com/Life-Your-Dreams-Financial-Freedom/dp/1637634234#:~:text=Review,action%20can%20create%20extraordinary%20results.

    Why do friendship breakups sometimes hurt more than romantic ones?

    We talk about breakups all the time—but rarely about the pain of losing a close friend. Yet, the grief can feel even heavier. Why? Because friendships are coded deep into your brain’s identity systems. In this episode, I’ll explain: ✅ How the brain stores friendship bonds in emotional memory ✅ Why the loss of a friend triggers identity confusion ✅ Why you still replay conversations and crave closure ✅ How to heal without the “final talk” and start feeling whole again This isn’t about pretending it didn’t matter. It’s about finding coherence inside your mind when the friendship story feels unfinished. 🎧 Watch now to understand why your grief is real—and how to move forward without losing yourself. 📚 Order my new book Help in a Hurry: www.helpinahurrybook.com 📫 Join 250,000+ readers of my free newsletter with science-backed mental health strategies: Sign up here 🖥️ Watch the show on YouTube: @drcarolineleaf GET IN TOUCH: 🌍 Website 📸 Instagram: @drcarolineleaf 🐦 Twitter: @drcarolineleaf 💻 Facebook: Dr Caroline Leaf DISCLAIMER: This podcast and blog are for educational purposes only and are not intended as medical advice.

    Brain fog, anxiety, and mental decline are often treated like inevitable parts of aging. But what if that narrative is wrong?

We’ll unpack: ✅ Why cognitive decline isn’t inevitable ✅ How one molecule (NAD+) drives 500 critical functions ✅ Why NAD levels plunge by 50% by midlife—and what that means for brain health ✅ The surprising role of CD38 in speeding up aging ✅ Practical steps to maintain brain energy, mental clarity, and cellular health This conversation is about proactive longevity—not just adding years to life, but life to your years.

    Alyson Stoner on Healing Childhood Fame, Identity & Mental Health

    What happens when childhood fame shapes your identity, rewires your brain, and leaves no roadmap for healing? 🎬 In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Alyson Stoner—actor, dancer, singer, activist, and founder of Movement Genius—to explore the hidden costs of early success and the science of reclaiming your inner world. Alyson shares raw insights from their new book Semi Well Adjusted Despite Literally Everything, diving into the pressures of the entertainment industry, the long-term effects of growing up on set, and the neuroscience-backed practices that helped them rebuild. We unpack: • Why stability and “boring” routines are essential for brain and body healing • How fame impacts mental health and identity formation • The toddler-to-train-wreck pipeline in child stardom—and how to break it • Tools for reconnecting with yourself after trauma • The role of community, neuroscience, and intentional practice in real recovery 📖 Pre-order Alyson’s book Semi-Well-Adjusted Despite Literally Everything: A Memoir: https://www.amazon.com/Semi-Well-Adjusted-Despite-Literally-Everything-Memoir/dp/1250353491 Follow Alyson on instagram: @alysonstoner 📖 Order my new book Help in a Hurry: https://www.helpinahurrybook.com  🔔 Subscribe for weekly episodes that blend science, story, and strategy to help you take back control of your mental and emotional health. 📫 250,000+ read my free newsletter that breaks down scientific strategies to help you improve your mental health.
