Dear Brain: We Need to Have a Chat | E25 50:11

50:11

Ever catch yourself saying things in your head you’d never dare say out loud to anyone else? (Yeah, us too.) In this episode, Lisa and Daniela pull back the curtain on the wild world of self-talk — the good, the bad, and the downright savage. From money mindset messiness to body image battles to the sneaky little voice that says you're "not enough," they’re calling out the toxic scripts we all pick up — and offering a way to rewrite them. Expect real talk, lots of laughs, and a few “ouch, that hit” moments as they swap stories, try some experiments in self-kindness, and remind you that authority isn’t about a resume — it’s about lived experience. If you’ve ever wondered why being nice to yourself feels so hard (and why it’s 100% worth the effort), this one’s for you. Plus, we’re wrapping up season one with some big reflections and even bigger gratitude. Bring your coffee, your cozy socks, and your most chaotic inner critic — we’re having words.…
