Your brain is always listening—what is it hearing from you? Are you feeding it thoughts that create happiness or ones that quietly work against it? In this encore podcast episode, our host, Deborah Rozman, sits down with renowned psychiatrist and brain health expert Dr. Daniel Amen to explore how our inner dialogue, stress responses, and emotional habits shape our mental well-being—often without us realizing it. We dive into the heart-brain connection and share practical tools—from both Amen Clinics and HeartMath®—that can help you interrupt stress patterns, build emotional resilience, and train your brain and heart for more clarity and calm. Originally released in April 2022, this conversation is more relevant than ever. If you’re looking to support your brain, balance your mind and emotions, and live with more heart-driven intention, be sure you catch this episode and share it with someone you care about.  This episode closes with a heart-focused meditation to get our heart and brain in sync to help release stress and connect with what’s important to you to support your mental and emotional well-being.
