Debunking Brain Myths: What’s Really Holding You Back from Change with Sarah McKay

All your brain is doing is kind of gathering a lot of information as it goes along through life and stores that information so that when you're in that situation next, you can make that decision about what to do.

Throughout time, great thinkers have recognized the importance of the thoughts we have. Quotes like Garbage In, Garbage Out, or You Are What You Think ring true.

And yet, for many of us, our thoughts don't strengthen or empower us. We tend toward negativity, self-pity. Jealousy or fear. We see what we don't have instead of what we do. We think things that hold us back and dampen our spirit.

But it's not just about thinking. Our actions matter. It takes conscious, consistent, and creative effort to make a life worth living. This podcast is about how other people keep themselves moving in the right direction. How they feed their good wolf. What if I told you that some of the most popular beliefs about your brain, like the idea that you only use 10% of it, are completely false?
