The Brain Changers™

Have you ever noticed how you can see yourself overthinking — replaying conversations, analysing decisions, giving yourself more time — and yet nothing actually changes? You know what you’re doing… but you still can’t seem to stop. In this episode of The Brain Changers™ Podcast, we explore why overthinking doesn’t end with awareness alone, how fear disguises itself as logic, and why behaviour — not insight — is what finally interrupts the loop. This is a grounded, honest conversation about the quiet cost of staying in your head, and the moment where thinking stops being...

By December, many people aren’t just tired, they’re running on empty. If you’re limping toward the end of the year, counting down days until you can fall in a heap, this episode is for you. In this final episode of 2025, we look at what’s really going on in your brain and nervous system when rest doesn’t seem to “work,” why most people start January already depleted, and how a simple pause - done well - can change the entire trajectory of the year ahead. This isn’t about pushing harder, setting vague resolutions, or reinventing your life overnight. It’s about closing the year...

The Brain Changers™

Ever felt like your emotions hijacked you? One minute you’re calm, the next you’ve snapped at someone, avoided the hard conversation, or completely lost focus. Most people think emotional freedom is luck… that some days you have it, some days you don’t. But emotional freedom isn’t random. It’s a skill you can learn. In this episode of The Brain Changers™ Podcast, Rebekah and Yvonne unpack what “state management” really means, how your nervous system drives it, and why mastering your state is the difference between reacting on autopilot and choosing how you show up. What...

What can a horse teach you about mindfulness, intuition, and letting go of control? In this episode, I sit down with Mel McLaren, founder of Walk Sublime: Walking with Horses in Nature™, to explore how mindfulness, healing, and connection come alive in the simplest of moments… a walk through the forest, the sound of hoofbeats beside you, and the quiet synchrony of two heartbeats moving as one. Mel shares her deeply personal story of loss, resilience, and rediscovering purpose through her horses… each one rescued, rehomed, and healing in their own way. Together, they now help others...

The Brain Changers™

Most people think hypnosis means losing control - or clucking like a chicken on stage. But hypnosis is actually one of the most natural states your brain already cycles through every day. And when you learn to use that state intentionally, it becomes a powerful tool for rewiring the unconscious patterns that keep you stuck. In this episode of The Brain Changers™ Podcast, Rebekah and Yvonne clear up the myths, explain what’s really happening in your brain during hypnosis, and show why it works when sheer willpower doesn’t. You’ll learn: ✅ Why hypnosis is a natural trance state your...

The Brain Changers™

We’ve all been told that sleep is important. But if you’ve ever crawled into bed exhausted, only to lie awake with your mind racing, you’ll know it’s not that simple. In this episode, we’re talking about the science and soul of sleep, and why “tired but wired” has become the modern default. I’m joined by holistic sleep scientist Dr. Sabine Christelli, who blends neuroscience, breathwork, and ancient wisdom to help people finally rest deeply and wake up restored. We explore why so many smart, capable women struggle to switch off at night, the surprising habits that might be...

We’ve all heard someone say your physical environment is a reflection of what’s going on in your mind. But is that actually true? In this episode, we’re talking clutter - mental, physical, digital - and the invisible load it places on your brain. I’m joined by life organiser and declutter coach Bridget Johns, who shares how small changes in your environment can have a big impact on your clarity, stress levels, and overall mental load. We explore the real reasons your brain feels full all the time (spoiler: it’s not just your schedule), and how creating simple systems at home and work...

Ever found yourself torn between your head saying one thing, your heart whispering another, and your gut just… churning? Yep... us too! In this episode of The Brain Changers podcast, we’re diving into the science behind indecision and showing you how to align the three key centres of intelligence in your body: your head, heart, and gut.

This isn’t just a metaphor — it’s neuroscience. You have three distinct neural networks, each with its own form of wisdom. When they’re out of sync, decision-making feels like walking through fog. But when they’re aligned? That’s when clarity, calm and confidence kick in.

In this episode, you'll learn:
✅ What it really means to have “three brains” (and yes, it’s backed by science)

✅ How your gut, heart and head influence decisions in different ways

✅ Signs your internal signals are misaligned — and how to spot them

✅ A simple, powerful process to tune in and reconnect with each one

✅ Why “overthinking” is often a case of under-feeling or under-trusting

Whether you're stuck on a big life choice or just want to stop second-guessing yourself every five minutes, this episode is your go-to guide for making decisions that feel right in every way.
