Exploring Brain and Mind
Brain and mind are intrinsically connected but often seen as separate. Every week, “Exploring Brain and Mind” will combine neuroscience research, tips to keep brain and mind healthy and functioning well as well as talks with guests in different professions from science, coaching, leadership, healing and spirituality.
Join your host Elke Wallace, founder of Mastering Your Mind Matters, on her mission to help as many people as possible to understand how their brain and mind work so they can take more control of their lives and make better choices.
