We’re Laine and Cherys, two licensed clinicians here to talk about why our brains do the things they do and how to use our minds to become happier & healthier people through the power of knowing more. In our pilot episode, Laine maps out our brains like Google Earth so we can get a better sense of all the workings and systems, learn how those systems work together like family relationships, and discuss what humans are capable of if we could just master our mindset. We’ll be churning out episodes about once a month, but forgive us for any hiccups or delays - we are in fact only human. Got an idea for a podcast topic?
