In this powerful kickoff to Season 7, returning guest Mitch Weisburgh reveals what’s really happening in your limbic or survivor brain and how to shift to the sage brain in seconds to reclaim clarity, control, and intentional living in every decision and moment of your life! ⚡

⏱️ Did you know that the limbic brain can generate 30–40 reactions in less than a second? That it's constantly scanning for threats that prime us to react to danger? To respond to situations and be resilient and joyful in all areas of our lives requires access to our Sage brain.

In this episode offered as a masterclass, you’ll learn practical skills and techniques of MindShifting to interrupt your survivor brain reactions and engage the prefrontal cortex to enjoy more clarity, creativity, and connection in your relationships and life. 🎯

The foundation of all great relationships, whether personal or professional is positive connection. Understanding how the brain works - especially in trauma and utilizing the techniques of MindShifting will help you sharpen your conflict resolution skills and elevate your skills related to decision-making, partnerships, leadership, parenting, personal growth and self-confidence.

In this masterclass Mitch unpacks: 🧠 💪🧘‍♀️

In this episode, enjoy this deeply moving (and sometimes humorous) conversation with my guest, Dr. Greg Linkowski, diagnostic radiologist (retired), spiritual mentor, author and bereaved dad since 2002. From a childhood fuelled by chaos, his dad's addiction, emotional upheaval and witnessing his father’s darkest struggles, to the devastating loss of his young son years later, Greg shares his story of resilience and courage with unabashed honesty and vulnerability to offer hope and guidance to anyone walking a similar path.

In his new book, “Dare to Thrive”, Greg states that while pain is inevitable, it does not have to define who we are. Through faith, courage and hope, we can heal our deepest wounds and transform our lives.

Key Insights From Our Conversation:

• A Life Shaped by Early Trauma
• The Generational Impact of Trauma
• Faith as a Foundation for Healing
• Parenting a Seriously Ill Child
• The Power of Community and Support
• Finding Meaning After Loss

This is a heartfelt conversation to help anyone navigating trauma, loss and other struggles.
