Unlocking How to Hack Your Mind with Dr. Caroline Leaf

All Episodes

August 5, 2025 • 67 mins

If you’ve ever thought, “Why do I keep overreacting in meetings” or “I just can’t shut my brain off,” this episode is for you. The problem isn’t your brain. It’s that no one ever taught you how to manage your mind.

In this episode of Unlocked, I sit down with Dr. Caroline Leaf - neuroscientist, bestselling author of 19 books, and someone who’s been helping people untangle their thought life for over 40 years. She breaks down the difference between the mind and the brain, why the brain is more like a storage device than a decision maker, and how leaders can take back control when their emotions hijack the moment.

We also get into why “mind hacks” work, how long it actually takes to rewire a belief (hint: it’s not 21 days), and whether AI can ever truly empathize with us. Spoiler: it cannot.

If you feel stuck in mental loops that sabotage your clarity, confidence, or leadership, this episode will show you the science and strategy to step out of reactivity and into ownership.
