  • Insightful

    I recently tuned into the latest episode about whole brain thinking, and I was profoundly enlightened. The explanation of left-right brain dynamics was crystal clear, and what stood out were the pragmatic, user-friendly techniques to heighten our self-awareness and cultivate a holistic brain approach. Kudos to Dr. Christine and Laurie Zorn!
