This episode the 11 year old hosts jump into the world of assuming the best in the people around you. Full disclaimer, this is very hard to do! The hosts also share a trick for quieting those pesky self-limiting thoughts that come into your head. And like in Episode 3 - you dear listener get to choose the ending to the story!  The star of the show is the reticular activating system aka The Sifting Sooty and the hosts find out how social intelligence, curiosity and generosity can help them truly assume the best in others.

We are MASSIVE fans of hers! Dr Brené Brown has transformed how the world and workplace think about vulnerability, courage, shame and empathy.  She has inspired us in earlier episodes when spotlighting the dance between fear and courage and at Grow Your Mind we live by 2 of her mantras: clear is kind AND stay awkward, brave and kind.
