Every shell has a story. What’s yours? Shell We Talk? is a conversation-driven podcast that dives beneath the surface to uncover the passions, experiences, challenges, and defining moments that shape people and their journeys. We believe you don't have to be famous, have a perfect career, or have everything figured out to have a story worth sharing. Our guests come from all kinds of backgrounds and stages of life, including students, researchers, entrepreneurs, healthcare professionals, nonprofit leaders, artists, journalists, volunteers, creators, and other changemakers. At the heart of every conversation is passion. What makes you excited to get out of bed? What inspired you to start what you're doing? What challenges have you faced along the way? What have you learned? And what keeps you going when things don't go according to plan? We're especially interested in the story behind the person. Rather than simply talking about someone's accomplishments, we want to learn about the experiences, struggles, discoveries, and motivations that helped shape them. 🎙️ What can you expect? Each episode is a genuine conversation about a guest's journey, interests, work, passions, and perspectives. We want our guests to feel comfortable speaking honestly and bringing their personality into the conversation.

You don't have to know exactly where your journey is going. In fact, figuring it out can be part of the story. Why be a guest? Joining Shell We Talk? is an opportunity to share your story, talk about what you're passionate about, highlight the work you're doing, and connect with listeners who may see themselves in your journey.

    Rewiring the Mind with Deborah "Debbie" Quachey

    Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. What happens when struggling with school leads you to discover neuroscience? In Episode 2 of Shell We Talk?, we’re joined by Deborah “Debbie” Quachey, a high school student and the founder of Molecules & Mindsets, joining us from Accra, Ghana. Debbie shares how her own struggles with focus, burnout, and school in eighth grade led her to explore neuroscience and discover the concept of neuroplasticity. What began as an effort to better understand and support herself eventually inspired her to create Molecules & Mindsets, a podcast where she explores neuroscience and the science behind how our brains work. We talk about the experiences that inspired Debbie to start her podcast, what neuroscience has taught her, and why she wants other people to know that struggling doesn't mean you're incapable. We also dive into her love for biology, art, music, creativity, and school life, as well as what it's like balancing her interests with building something of her own as a high school student. And, of course, we wrap up with a little game and our Season 1 question: “Life is too short to…” ------ 🎙️ Molecules & Mindsets: A podcast exploring neuroscience and the science behind how our brains work 📍 Accra, Ghana 📸 Instagram: @moleculesmindsets 🎵 TikTok: @moleculesmindsetsoffici1 Hosted by Shivali H.
