68. Calming the ADHD Family with Lara Dawn
March 12, 2022 20:00 - 58 minutes - 40.4 MBADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. But, as my guest Coach Lara Dawn helps us understand today, that label is somewhat of a misnomer. The truth is that ADHD is neither a deficit of attention (actually, people with ADHD have an abundance of attention), nor a disorder. In fact, some people consider ADHD to be a superpower. Lara is the founder of the wonderful ADHD Village, a community that offers brain-based, science-backed support for families raising children with A...
67. Cognitive Dissonance
January 30, 2022 21:00 - 37 minutes - 25.8 MBIf you've ever felt discomfort over a decision you've had to make, tried to justify a choice you've made, or regretted something you've done because you thought to yourself "I don't know why I did that, that's not me!" you have likely experienced cognitive dissonance. Cognitive Dissonance Theory was presented by a social psychologist, named Leon Festinger, in 1957. Cognitive dissonance is a term for the state of mental or psychological discomfort we feel when two or more modes of thought (...
66. Selective Attention & Inattentional Blindness
December 31, 2021 21:00 - 27 minutes - 18.8 MBHave you ever found yourself staring into the fridge, looking for something that was right in front of your nose all along? Do you ever wonder why your kids, or students, can't seem to just focus on one thing, or can't hear you when you call their name 100 times, but can remember all the details of what you told them 4 1/2 years ago? It may have something to do with Selective Attention and Inattentional Blindness. Adults are quite skilled at focusing on one thing, and disregarding all oth...
65. Play Is Good For Your Brain
November 07, 2021 18:00 - 34 minutes - 23.5 MBWhat does "play" mean to you? Do you consider yourself a playful person? Do you engage in play on a regular basis, or are you resistant to play? Many of us understand that play is good for children's development, but do you know how, or why? Do you know that play is also good for adults? Play reduces stress, helps strengthen relationships and trust, enhances imagination, develops social skills, and even increases productivity and creativity. And, it doesn't have to be extensive or extra...
64. Well, What Did You Expect?
September 19, 2021 19:00 - 41 minutes - 28.8 MBWhat expectations do you have of your students? Of your partner? Your family? Your friends? Yourself? I expect my kids to be polite. I expect my students to listen to me. I expect my partner to remember my birthday. I expect my friends to be on time. Sound familiar? What happens when your expectations are not met? How do you feel? The problem with having expectations is that they are all about other people. They often originate from a place of wounding, fear, and lack. We impose expectat...

62. Toxic Positivity BeGone!
August 14, 2021 20:00 - 31 minutes - 21.7 MBWait, what?! Positivity is toxic? It can be. Positivity can become toxic when it is used to mask, suppress, avoid, or cover up negative emotions. It's the belief that no matter how dire or difficult a situation is, people should maintain a positive mindset, or put a positive spin on all experiences. It's a "good vibes only" approach to life. Toxic positivity denies people the authentic support that they need to cope with what they are facing. It paints negative emotions as a failure or...
61. Anger
July 31, 2021 22:00 - 46 minutes - 32.1 MBWhat makes you angry? What really makes your blood boil? How do you feel about anger itself? What do you do when you feel angry? We’re taught to avoid, is anger. We learn that anger is bad. It’s scary. It’s destructive. But, the truth is, that anger is just an emotion, like any other we experience as humans. It’s a vibration in our body. It’s neither good, nor bad. It’s just energy in motion. I talk a lot about feelings and emotions in my coaching, and here on the podcast because fee...
60. Now What?
July 18, 2021 16:00 - 24 minutes - 16.7 MBHello Teacher Brain! Good news: I'm Open For Business! Do you believe in signs, or nudges from the universe - or God, or whatever you might call it? Oprah calls them whispers from the universe. She says that, for example, when we have an idea, or desire on our heart, first, we may hear a whisper of that idea or desire. She says, when we ignore that little whisper, which we often do, the universe then starts speaking more loudly to us. And this is when we may start to get little “nudges...

59. 1323... and counting - The Residential "Schools" Body Count... and Reconsidering Canada Day
June 26, 2021 21:00 - 35 minutes - 24.3 MBHello Teacher Brain Heads Up: this episode may trigger (or as I like to refer to it, "activate") you. I encourage you not to shy away from your feelings. Allow them to come. Sit with them. Get curious. Don't be afraid of your emotions - whatever they may be. They are clues to what drives you (in either direction).

58. Mirror Neurons and Energetic Coupling: Why We're All Just a Bunch of Copy Cats.
June 12, 2021 16:00 - 27 minutes - 18.7 MBHave you ever been in an audience of something and someone coughs, and it seems to start a chain reaction of coughing. Or, you’re talking to someone, and they scratch their nose, so then you scratch yours? Ever wonder why? Well, it may be, at least partly due to something called, mirror neurons. Mirror neurons were discovered accidentally, in macaque monkeys in 1992. A mirror neuron is a neuron that fires both when an animal acts and when the animal observes the same action performed by ...
57. Watch Out For Dangling Carrots! - External Motivation Can Hurt!
May 29, 2021 21:00 - 34 minutes - 23.8 MBHello Teacher Brain! If I told you I'd give you $1000 to work out every day for a year, do you think you'd do it? The answer might surprise you! Studies show that external rewards (like money), can actually have negative effects on motivation! Not only that, but they squelch creativity, encourage cheating and can result in exploitation of the reward-based system. Like most things, the answers are within. Intrinsic motivation is long-lasting, and has positive benefits to self-esteem, re...
55. Even Monkeys Fall From Trees - Judging the Whole By Some of Its Parts
May 08, 2021 23:00 - 31 minutes - 21.9 MBWe are all just in this human experience, trying to figure things out as we go. And sometimes we get it wrong. Sometimes we get it REALLY wrong. And when that happens, we can be hard on ourselves. And when the coin is flipped, and it’s about other people, we can be really hard on them! We throw the baby out with the bathwater, as they say. We judge the whole by some of its parts. And we do this all the time, in big ways and small. Someone cuts us off in traffic, and we yell (interna...
54. Beware The DeMoN In Your Brain!
April 25, 2021 18:00 - 32 minutes - 22.6 MBHave you ever sat down to get a moment's rest, take a "brain break", or meditate, or even gone for a "peaceful" walk in nature, and all that starts running through your mind is all the terrible stuff that has happened in your past, or all the terrible things that might happen in your future? What's up with that?! Well, it turns out, we have a "demon" in our brain. Our DMN (Default Mode Network), like most other functions of our brain, is designed to keep us safe by running all the negati...

56. Be The Boss Of Your Brain
April 25, 2021 00:00 - 33 minutes - 23 MBYou are the boss of your brain! We are sleepwalking our way through life. 80-95% of our daily decisions and actions, are made on autopilot - by our subconscious... without our having to think about them consciously - without our permission, even. We are letting our subconscious run the show - and we don't even know we're doing it. Those automations are formed by the repeated thoughts and feelings we had as a child - based on what we saw and experienced of the people around us. Your bel...
53. Crying is Good For Your Health
April 19, 2021 02:00 - 32 minutes - 22.2 MBWhen was the last time you had a good cry? Did you know that our tears contain natural pain-killers? Emotional tears are made of higher concentrations of toxins that accumulate during stress. The hormones, including adrenocorticotropic hormone & leucine enkephalin (a natural painkiller), get excreted from the body through crying, suggesting that crying helps in balancing stress hormone levels. Additional studies also suggest that crying stimulates the production of endorphins, another o...

51. Why Do Kids Love Repetition?
March 29, 2021 21:00 - 39 minutes - 27.1 MBDo the "Little Brains" in your life love watching, listening to, and/or doing the same thing over and over...and over...and over again? What's up with that? I decided to ask an expert, 6-year-old, Zoey Nykoruk why she loves hearing the same book, same podcast, and watching the same movie over and over... and over again. She had some interesting things to say about repetition. And then, I did some research and found out even more interesting things about our affinity for repetition. It...

March 13, 2021 18:00 - 35 minutes - 24.7 MBToday we're going to get uncomfortable in the uncomfortable. We're going to give your brain a workout. Has someone ever said something to you like “Oh my goodness, thank you so much, that was so helpful!” and you respond with something like “Well, I didn’t do anything!" Or, “Congratulations on that award! That’s so great!” and you brush it off with a “Oh my gosh! No, So-and-so should have gotten it. I didn’t do anything to deserve it” Or even “Oh my gosh! You totally smashed your goal...
49. I Am a Total Fraud - Exposing Imposter Syndrome
March 06, 2021 19:00 - 35 minutes - 24.7 MBHello Teacher Brain, Do you ever worry that someone is going to discover that you don’t really know what you’re doing? That you’ll be found out or exposed as a fraud? That you’ve been pulling the wool over everyone's eyes, and that any minute someone is going to out you for the con artist that you are? Are you ever anxious about saying or doing the wrong thing because then everyone will find out that you actually aren’t that smart, or you aren’t good enough, or you don’t really deserve t...

February 15, 2021 22:00 - 1 hour - 41.3 MBDid you know that your handwriting reveals your personality traits, thought patterns, and blocks you have? Did you know that when you fall in love, survive a serious illness, or change careers, your handwriting patterns change? Did you know that letters have energy? It's all connected to your subconscious. Your handwriting is a tool that can rewire your brain, and even help you overcome past trauma. Changing your handwriting can help you get rid of bad habits and limiting beliefs that ar...
47. Language Matters. Words Counts
January 31, 2021 20:00 - 34 minutes - 24 MBWords have power. Words can start, AND END, wars. They can create AND HEAL disease. They can inspire AND HALT change. They can unite, or divide us. They can raise us up, or pull us down. They can perpetuate love, or prompt hate, inflict pain, and incite violence. They can educate, enlighten, specify, persuade, dissuade, influence, manipulate, evoke emotion, insult, provoke, uplift, break down, coax, motivate, move, and even kill… AND more. Words create our reality. Words count. Language m...

January 02, 2021 21:00 - 45 minutes - 31.1 MBHAPPY NEW YEAR! Do you have any resolutions or goals for this year? Do you have a system for achieving those goals? Do you make it mean something about you if/when you don't achieve them? Statistically speaking, most people have abandoned their New Year's Resolution (the thing they thought they wanted most in the world) by January 19th! That's less than 3 weeks into the first month of the new year! Why? Because, they are letting their subconscious talk them out of even trying - withou...

December 05, 2020 22:00 - 36 minutes - 25.3 MBWhat do you think of when you hear the term "hypnotherapy"? Just like my incredible guest today, I used to picture the entertainers in Las Vegas "hypnotizing" people on stage and making them do crazy things. And, I had even been pulled up on stage myself when I was a kid at a resort one time, and "hypnotized" (I was totally acting). This is NOT what hypnotherapy is - FAR from it! Today, my magnificent guest, Maegan Aleece demystifies HT & RTT for us, explains the neuroscience behind ho...
41. Meditation - An Awesome Return on Investment!
November 28, 2020 20:00 - 38 minutes - 26.3 MBDo you meditate? Have you ever tried it? What do you think of when you hear the word, "meditation"? Most people don't meditate because they think they don't have time. But, meditation takes just 2% of your day, and can improve the other 98% in majorly significant ways! That's an insane return on investment! Meditation helps to reduce stress by kicking in our relaxation reflex. Meditation also reduces anxiety, fear and sadness. 15 mins of mindfulness meditation before making important d...
40. Sweet Dreams!
November 15, 2020 16:00 - 45 minutes - 31 MBWhat did you dream about last night? Do you remember? Do you ever catch yourself twitching as you fall asleep, or making noises? Do you sleep walk? Do you have nightmares? Have you ever had a lucid dream? For a number of reasons, it’s difficult to definitively conclude much of anything around dreaming. But, the speculations and insights are fascinating, and thought provoking, to say the least - as is the scientific data we do have. Today we dive into all the things about dreams and dre...

39. I've Got My Mind on My Money, and My Money on My Mind - Having a Millionaire Mindset
November 08, 2020 21:00 - 39 minutes - 27.4 MBI used to (not that long ago) believe that money was hard to come by. That I had to work hard for my money. That nothing comes for free. That it was a struggle to earn money. That wanting money made me greedy and selfish. That it was not ok to want money. That money would change me, and that rich people were lucky, and knew some secret I don't. I have done a complete 180 on my money mindset. I now see it in a different way, and it comes to me much more easily. I have learned the "secre...
38. Don't Believe Everything You Hear - It Could Be an Audio Illusion!
October 31, 2020 19:00 - 17 minutes - 11.9 MBWe've all seen optical illusions - they offer so much fun for us, and our students. But, have you ever heard of audio illusions?

October 24, 2020 17:00 - 19 minutes - 13.3 MBHave you ever had a brain orgasm? Have you ever felt a tingling in your scalp after hearing a certain sound? Maybe the gentle tapping or dragging of long finger nails on different, bumpy or rough surfaces, clicking of the tongue or fingers, crackles or fizzes like that of candy in your mouth, falling of dry rice, rustling of leaves, or fabrics, whispering... ASMR, also called “brain tingles” or “brain orgasm” is felt as deep relaxation and pleasant head tingling that is often stimulated by...
36. Breaking the Sound Barrier: Understanding Misophonia
October 17, 2020 18:00 - 16 minutes - 11.6 MBWhat is your favourite sound? One that really lifts your spirits and lightens your heart - maybe even gives you tingles or goosebumps - one that brings a smile to your face every time you hear it? Chances are... hopefully… you can name a few things that fit that category. Baby giggles, waterfalls, wind chimes, certain musical instruments, a cat’s purr, rustling leaves in the breeze... what about the other end of the spectrum. What’s your least favourite sound? One that sends shivers down...
35. Social Comparison & Why You are Not the Worst Mom Ever!
October 10, 2020 17:00 - 27 minutes - 19.2 MBA couple weeks ago, I missed International Daughter's Day. My first thought was "I am the worst mother EVER!" Why? Because I was comparing myself to all the "perfect" moms on Facebook and Instagram (from where I learned about International Daughters' Day in the first place) who posted beautiful photos of themselves with their daughters, gushing their affection for their daughters in the captions. Theodore Roosevelt said that "Comparison is the thief of joy." But, it can also be our grea...
34. Laughter is Good for Your Brain!
October 03, 2020 17:00 - 16 minutes - 11.1 MBWhen was the last time you had a good, solid, deep belly laugh? As children, we used to laugh hundreds of times a day, but as adults, life tends to be more serious and laughter more infrequent. In fact, did you know that the average 4 year old laughs 300 times a day. The average 40 year old? 4. Just 4. So, what's the big deal? Why is it important to laugh, and how is it good for you? Well, it turns out that laughter strengthens your immune system, boosts mood, diminishes pain, and pr...

31. Fear is Not The Boss of You!
September 05, 2020 16:00 - 20 minutes - 14.3 MBFear is just an emotion. One of many emotions we experience as humans. And, in fact, fear is a useful emotion because it signals danger and real threats to our safety and survival. Feeling fear is a good thing. It indicates that your brain is functioning as it should. Thank you, brain! Unfortunately, fear also sometimes prevents us from doing something we want to do, or from following our dreams, taking risks, trying new things, even introducing ourselves to someone new at a party.

August 22, 2020 17:00 - 22 minutes - 15.6 MBHave you ever tried to memorize a speech or presentation? How did you do it?

25. Don't Let the Spin Cycle Dictate Your Life: Preparing For an Unknown Back-To-School
July 25, 2020 17:00 - 28 minutes - 19.5 MBWe don’t know what September will look like at this point. And, even if they did have a set plan for us now, it will most likely change a number of times before (and after) we start back to work. And that unknown is an uncomfortable place for many people to sit. The unknown can be scary for people. Especially if it is a place where the looping thought track is narrated by the news or social media, or other fear-based, stress-perpetuating source. Stressing about it, is not only unhelpful,...
