In this episode, Emily and Renee are joined by Professor Selena Bartlett—neuroscientist, child mental health advocate, and host of the Thriving Minds and Being Seen podcast—for a fascinating deep dive into how we can literally rewire our brains for joy. Drawing on her research in neuroplasticity, Professor Bartlett shares the science behind how our emotional responses are shaped, how triggers take root, and how simple, consistent practices (like cold water and gratitude) can transform even the most overwhelming moments into glimmers. It’s a hopeful, practical conversation that proves you don’t need to change your life to change your brain—you just need to understand how it works. If you’ve ever wondered how to feel more calm, connected, and capable—this episode is a must-listen.
