The Process of Change: Prefrontal Cortex Edition

This Daring Adventure

In this episode of This Daring Adventure podcast, I explore the pivotal role of the prefrontal cortex in bridging the gap between our current selves and our desired future.

We look at the brain's architecture, focusing on the prefrontal cortex as the 'CEO' responsible for planning, decision-making, and impulse control. Understanding and optimizing the function of our prefrontal cortex can help us override primitive survival mechanisms that often keep us stuck in counterproductive habits.

Learn that through embracing mindfulness, cognitive challenges, and healthy lifestyle habits, we can rewire our brains for sustainable change, ultimately leading to a more intentional and fulfilling life.
