Headtime Stories with Mikli: What’s it Like in Your Brain?

Ever wonder what’s really going on inside other people’s heads? Grab something cozy and untangle your earphones as we explore the question: “What’s it like in your brain?” Join Mikli, a tech and automation strategist with a knack for understanding human behavior and a long-time love for psychology, as she and her guests share their personal stories and ”aha!” moments about the way we think. Get ready for: - Relatable conversations about creativity, motivation, and those ”wait, your brain does that too?” moments. - Engaging storytelling that will make you laugh, think, and maybe even see your own brain in a whole new light. - Bonus ”Tech Talk” episodes where Mikli takes what she’s learned from different brains and explores how technology, automations, and systems can be designed to work *with* those ways of thinking — with hypothetical examples and real world case studies

You know what I had to do to get this podcast launched? Shut. My. Mouth. Because otherwise I’d end up stuck in 80%-done purgatory with the rest of my unfinished projects !!! :)
