Episode #8: Your Primitive Brain

Summary

Do you really know how your brain works? This episode is an exploration of how you think and the two parts of your brain that are driving every aspect of your life. They play a massive role in the results that you’re creating, so it’s time to gain a deeper understanding of them.

You have a higher-functioning, evolved, intentional part of your brain: your prefrontal cortex. However, you also have your primitive brain. Your primitive brain is responsible for your reflexes, like sensing danger and deciding whether something is good or bad, which is obviously useful. But when we don’t check in with our primitive brain, it can easily go down a negative path.

Tune in this week to discover everything there is to know about your primitive brain. I’m sharing how your primitive brain has been a powerful tool in keeping you alive for much of your life, but why now might be the time to get curious and see the way it’s holding you back from achieving the results you truly want.
