The post Mindful Neuroscience: Mastering the Art of Inner Intelligence appeared first on Stefanie Faye.

In my interview with Michelle “MACE” Curran, we dive into the neural architecture behind the idea of our inner critic, imposter syndrome, and what it means to live life from a place of striving and opening towards what we desire, rather than from a place of fear of rejection and failure.

We talk specifically about how these systems play out in our pursuit of our passions.

As you think about something you want to improve, achieve, transform… what do you notice about the chatter that goes on inside… does it remind you that you may not be able to pull it off? Or perhaps there’s an image of others looking at you disappointed, indifferent, or amused…

This is a big part of Michelle’s journey, as she dealt with self-doubt and feeling like she didn’t belong in a community that she had initially joined because of her passion and big dreams.

What would your life be like if that voice or those images boosted you up and fueled you to keep showing up as your highest, most evolved, courageous, alive self?

We can activate that inner voice to serve us in those ways, fueled by purpose, intention and faith in our ability to adapt and pivot as needed, even when things are uncertain and rocky.

Learn how we can specifically suppress, switch and engage our inner voice to help us expand towards our most vibrant states of being, service and purpose in this fascinating conversation with Michelle.

Our nervous systems and brain networks are powerfully shaped by experiences that are embodied, visceral, sensory-motor and social. This is the essence of Embodied Social Neuroscience.

In this episode, learn about 5 concrete embodied, neuroscience-supported pillars you can use to get better at honing the incredible power of the human mind-brain-body system. We look at several biomarkers and physiological pillars of how to combine the extraordinary, beautiful and magnificent power of the human brain with the mechanics of our body to help us achieve a state of deep fulfillment and sense of agency and alignment with our highest potential.
