• Getting Unstuck

  Here's the truth. I've been stuck. Trying to understand why by looking to the brain? Nothing worked. And then I stumbled across another organ that offered a clue – and a perspective – about why we get stuck and how to get out of it. This one's short and simple. Yet it's set me on my way to what comes next: things that give me (and hopefully you) hope, understood through the lens of the brain...and beyond.Thank you for being here. Your faith and patience means the world. More from me soon. Here's a link to the episode page with a few bonus resources. With gratitude, Ellenwww.ellenleanse.com

• More Than Skin Deep with Grace Gold

  Beauty, it turns out, is in the brain of the beholder. Research looking to pin down the correlates and functions associated with "experiencing beauty" so far leave scientists wondering where and how the the whole beauty thing happens. Yet the chase to "be" beautiful is a major cultural phenomenon, not to mention a $650B + global industry. Today's guest, Grace Gold, is an expert in that industry and the players and products that shape it. Which makes it even more refreshing when she explores beauty as something far beyond the reach of even the best products – an expression of radiance and energy innate in each of us. Learn more about Grace – and the neuroscience of beauty – at thebrainandbeyond.com/22Thanks for listening and come back soon.  Ellenwww.ellenleanse.com

• Welcome to Season Two of The Brain and Beyond Podcast!

  We're back in action – and look forward to sharing a lively interview as our first official episode of Season Two. Thanks for your patience as I've prioritized other work and taken a deep dive into evolutionary biology – as in "how did our brains evolve?" – human history – as in "what events and changes have made us who we are today?" – and a whole lot about the mutuality of females and males and how we seem to have lost our ways. Season Two's first episode shares a lively interview with bestselling author, zoologist, and amazing being Lucy Cooke, author of the breakthrough "BITCH: On the Female of the Species." Expect some vivid stories and a lot of laughs when I share that episode later today. Also: join me for a unique learning experience: Stepping Up Strong. It's a groundbreaking look at female empowerment that's based on my global retreats and workshops. Learn more at ellenleanse.com. I look forward to sharing Lucy and other guests, along with friendly neuroscience you can put to work for you, in Season Two. As always: I'm glad you're here. www.ellenleanse.com

  Change, it's said, begins within – and it's hard to imagine a more inspiring advocate for inner change and outer action than Dr. Susanne von der Becke.Susanne's path to mindful living grew, from the inside out, through her work as a scientist, economist, and banker. Along the way she realized the power of an inner-guided way of living, a path she today teaches at corporate retreats, well-being forums, and individual work in Europe and around the world. She's an active investor and board member,  Chairwoman of The Klosters Forum, and author of the upcoming book "A Mindfulness Guide for Leaders Who Want to Change the World."You can find a generous offering of meditation, mindfulness, leadership, and inner transformation on her website, VDBInsights.

The Episode Page  www.thebrainandbeyond.com/episodes/20 shares a range of resources related to Susanne's work, along with timely wisdom from three globally-respected Indigenous teachers – only three of many such leaders.
