Shownotes

What if your brain is agreeing with everything you believe, even when it’s not helpful? 

In this episode, Cecelia unpacks the way your thoughts shape your reality, and how your brain’s “yes-woman” tendencies can quietly reinforce stress, resentment, or self-doubt. From parenting to the holidays to aging, she shares real stories (and science) to show how your reticular activating system filters the world through what you already think is true. The good news is that you can soften those beliefs (without toxic positivity) and create more peace, ease, and support in your everyday life.
