Our brains are under attack by our modern lifestyle, so let today’s information be a hand behind our backs, propelling us forward! And then a little tweak can help move our self-talk into a safer, more beneficial mode!

Loving this addition to my walking routine – 5 Stars

I have been walking throughout the pandemic - mostly with friends. I recently learned of Carolyn’s podcast and it is such a welcome addition to my walking routine, especially when I am walking alone. I love Carolyn’s nonjudgmental approach to wellness and her focus on science and meeting you where you are. This is a great podcast and I highly recommend it!
