But the most powerful part of all is taking charge of your brain. There is the distinction that it is not who we are.  We have to fight back [and] tell our brain what to do. We do have to lead our brain, and how this probably bleeds into everything. Money matters; relationships, connections, that where we are in life — has everything to do with our lack of control of our brain.” - Jessica Hurley  ”First, you've got to survive your brain. And then, you got to take charge of your brain. That's when you start to thrive in life.” - Philippe Douyon   GUEST INFORMATION: Jessica Hurley  Website | https://www.jessicahurley.co/instapodcasts  IG | @jessicahurley__ LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessicahurley/  RESOURCES: Like what you’re hearing?
