About this listen

We are all wired for magical thinking. Across cultures and across eras, humans have always indulged in rituals, creating sacred objects and spaces and invoking spells. We set up intentions and manifest futures. How are we wired for this and how can we train ourselves to get better. In this podcast I explore how our brains are magical and the beauty behind them.

I am a Neuroscientist who opens up brains for a living and have always wondered about the breathtaking beauty of them, and the magic that brains inspire in me. I hope to share that wonder with all of you as well.

Come and explore the wonders and joys of our magical brains with me!
