Next Friday, October 10th is World Mental Health Day, and that’s why it's the perfect time to talk about the faith-brain connection, and how it has EVERYTHING to do with your own mental and emotional health.

In this next episode of The God Pod, Leanne takes you on a journey to explore the profound interplay between faith, self-image, and neuroscience. Leanne breaks down (in simple science terms) how just influencing ONE specific part of the brain (the Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC), or the "social brain" as she calls it) can change the game for you -- simply by knowing about it -- as just this ONE part of the brain influences everything from self-perception and emotional pain to coping mechanisms and physical pain.

Inviting God into the conversation right away, she shares how this region of the brain drives our need for acceptance and connection while also playing a big role in your coping mechanisms or habits which you feel are "out of control".

And it's not just theory either, as she shares evidence-based scientific studies that show how faith has been proven to drastically impact everything from self-esteem and addiction recovery...to the alleviation of physical pain, and how THIS can hold the keys to your own mental and emotional health.

Ultimately, she's simply inviting you to 'try on' this idea that faith can be a catalyst for healing, strength, and transformation in the realm of mental and emotional well-being.

The Universe is demanding your deepest commitment. Pluto, the planet of transformation, death, and rebirth, stations direct in Aquarius on October 13, 2025, after its retrograde journey since May 2nd. This shift is more than just an astrological marker; it's a monumental power surge and an evolutionary mandate to step into your highest truth.

This episode is a profound, timely deep dive into the potent Pluto in Aquarius energy (which lasts until 2043!) and how its stationing direct impacts you—especially if you have strong Aquarius or Leo placements.

What We Explore in This Episode:

• Annihilate Your Fears: Since May, Pluto has been deep in the first degrees of Aquarius, illuminating hidden fears, deep-seated programming, and subconscious anxieties. We break down the annoying, illuminating, and ultimately empowering truths you've been uncovering.
• The Tipping Point: We are at a critical collective crossroads. Learn how to choose courage, hope, and faith over the coming wave of disillusionment and self-pity brought by Saturn and Neptune moving into Pisces. Pluto direct is your saving grace, offering the dose of energy needed to rise up.
• Your Frequency is Your Currency: Your presence, thoughts, and actions are actively writing the future. Discover how to recalibrate your energy field to intentional living and radical authenticity, ensuring your highest timeline is being woven right now.
• Radical Rebellion: Explore what it means to equip yourself with your "soul armor" and why your personal, spiritual evolution is the ultimate act of defiance. We discuss how to arm yourself against apathy, escapism, and the "weapons of mass distraction" that lead to emotional detachment.
• Lightning Bolt Clarity: With Pluto out-of-bounds in its orbit, operating outside the norm, October promises lightning bolt moments of visionary clarity. Use this window to define your hopes, wishes, and dreams (11th house themes) and set a trajectory for an authentic, higher timeline.

Now is the time to commit to your spiritual path. Summon your personal courage, leverage this intense power surge, and step fully into your fierce spiritual embodiment.

What if your life was meant to feel good?

I don’t mean that in a “if you can dream it, you can do it!” kind of a way as much as I mean… what if your life—as it is—was meant to be pleasurable?

What if you could learn to slow down enough to see every single day, every breath, every new opportunity, every inconvenience, every hiccup, even every heartbreak as an absolutely gripping reminder that you get to be here and to experience this?

If you’re like me, it’s not always easy to get there.

But I think it’s worth a try, don’t you?

Come along with me on today’s episode where I discuss this very topic and invite you to practice with me: going slow and finding pleasure in everything.
