Hey y'all! Welcome to Cue the New You Podcast: the podcast for people who want to do life a little better and maybe laugh through the mess. I’m just a girl with a vision board and a vision to share about the beautiful chaos of being human. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all fix and I'm not here to sell you "one method to rule them all." It’s a space where I bring you a decade’s worth of deep dives into mindset, emotional regulation, fitness, healthy eating, and habits, basically all the stuff we wish came with an instruction manual. Expect hard-won lessons, aha moments, and those “why didn’t anyone tell me this?!” revelations, all bundled into bite-sized episodes you can actually use. You’ll find insights, laughs, and maybe a little tough love, but always with heart, never with the hype. New episodes every week. Let’s grow. Let’s get real. Let’s laugh through the chaos.

    EP 8 | Falling Asleep Doens't Have to be Hard: Tips for Getting a Restful Nights Sleep

    Send a text Having difficulties falling asleep? We've all been there at some point. Here are some helpful tips, backed by neuroscience of course, to help you get a restful nights sleep. We are going over things that Dr. Andrew Huberman and Dr. David Spiegel suggest doing: like eating 2-3 hours before bedtime, dimming the lights, creating a routine, to learning about cortisol and GABA receptors when you are feeling the wired but tired feeling at night.  Together we will explore things you can do to fall asleep quickly and stay asleep.  Here is one episode with Dr. Huberman and Dr. Spiegel: https://www.hubermanlab.com/episode/dr-david-spiegel-using-hypnosis-to-enhance-mental-and-physical-health-and-performance Let me know what you think about the podcast - I'd love to hear your input!

    EP 7 | Flipping the Script: 5 Morning Habits That Actually Work (Backed by Neuroscience)

    Send a text We don't need to spend 2 hours on our morning routines to start the day off right. Your morning routine should however consist of 5 things - which are backed by neuroscience) to help you optimize your morning. These include, delaying dopamine - meaning don't drink coffee within the first hour of waking up, getting some movement in, exposing yourself to sunlight - there are alternatives if you are unable to go outside, and more.  This episode is inspired by one of my all time favorite podcasters - Dr. Andrew Huberman with the Huberman Lab Podcast: https://www.hubermanlab.com/podcast Dr. Huberman is a neuroscientist and professor at Stanford and listening to an episode is like taking a class. It is packed with scientific evidence and data (duh) and he brings on so many guests to talk about all the topics. He has done research on creating the best morning routine and nighttime routine (which is next weeks episode)! Enjoy!

    EP 6 | Blueprint of Your Dream Life: Awareness | Alignment | Action

    Send a text We all want to be living our dream life, yet sometimes we get so caught up in life, we put ourselves and our life on the back burner - or, we don't believe that we could actually ever live the life we romanticize and fantasize. I'm here to tell you, that once you learn a little bit about how your brain functions, what your patterns and habits are, and what is really holding you back - you can achieve that dream life.  We are looking at parts of the brain, why the primitive brain is holding you back, and we are discussing how to become more aware, aligned, and how to start taking that action that will lead you to your goals. It's not about focusing on the goals as much as it is focusing on your daily habits. Are you showing up for yourself? You want to? Then have a listen!  Website: https://cuethenewyou.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/merittrollinsbrown/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@merittrollinsbrown?_t=8hC2ICTEGIY&_r=1

    Ep 4 | Why Your House Stays Cluttered and How to Beat the Mess

    Send a text Hey hey hey! We are talking about why your house seems like it stays cluttered and physical entropy starts to set in and you are feeling dismissed, frustrated, and resentment towards yourself and your environment. And this isn't a place we want to stay in for very long! Let's look at why our environment can get messy, and what to do about it.  I take excerpts from one of my favorite books, "Atomic Habits," by James Clear because we need to understand our "home" habits. Why do things pile up? What are we not doing? What habits are we creating? Are we skipping clean the kitchen up at night in order to watch a tv show? How we operate in our minds and bodies can reflect our environment. You are stressed at work can turn into a messy house because you need to relieve the stress from work before tackling your piled up shit. It's learning about your cycle and patterns and what is creating your habits and what habits do you want to have in the future.  We discuss the outcome based habit cycle and the identity based habit cycle, how craving plays a role in building habits, we define routines and how they matter, and you are learning about and understanding yourself a little bit better.  For those who feel stressed out and overwhelmed with all the things that have to do with the mental load and cleaning the house and organizing, you aren't alone. Let's talk about it. Together.  Website: https://cuethenewyou.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/merittrollinsbrown/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@merittrollinsbrown?_t=8hC2ICTEGIY&_r=1

    EP 3 | How to Not Crash Out from the Chaos: Mental Entropy Edition

    Send a text Hola Cueties! This week we are talking about the second episode in the Entropy series: Mental Entropy. When I think of mental entropy, I think of the mental load a lot of us carry. Sometimes the mental load is invisible and heavy and we don't allow ourselves to come up for air and rejuvenate our souls. So let's talk about. We will break down what mental entropy is and what it looks like, and how you can reconnect with yourself and not feel so dragged down with everything.  I mention Paige who speaks heavily about the mental load on TikTok: @sheisapaigeturner . Go check her out! Keeping this short and sweet. Bye!

    S3 | EP 2: Feeling Behind (But Trying Your Best)

    Send a text How is it when you’re trying your best, things still feel like they’re falling apart? Your house feels messy, your routines are slipping, your mind is cluttered, and beneath it all… you carry this heavy, invisible weight. This episode is for the people who feel like they should have their shit together by now…but don’t. This episode we are talking about emotional entropy. That slow unraveling of your inner world. The guilt that creeps in when you're not as productive as you hoped. The shame that whispers “you’re behind.” The pressure to always be “good enough.” The feeling of "will anything get better?" In this raw and honest episode, I break down: - What emotional entropy actually is (and why it’s not your fault) - The guilt/shame loop and how to break it - Why “doing more” doesn’t always help (and what to try instead) - What to do when you feel like your life is a mess, and your mind matches it This is not just another self-help pep talk, but a soft place to land. And if you’ve been silently struggling under the pressure of perfection, performance, or emotional burnout - this episode for you. You matter. Learning to calm the chaos is right around the corner.
