🧠 What if the way your brain feels right now—foggy, anxious, wired-but-tired—isn’t your fault… but a result of trauma, burnout, and a culture that never taught you how to care for the most powerful organ in your body?
In this deeply revealing episode of The Liz Svatek Show, I sit down with the legendary Dr. Daniel Amen; psychiatrist, brain health expert, and New York Times bestselling author—for the conversation every woman over 40 needs to hear.
Dr. Amen has reviewed over 200,000 brain scans and what he’s learned—especially about the female brain—is both shocking and empowering. Together, we explore:
💥 How stress, people-pleasing, and perfectionism literally rewire the female brain
💥 The truth about high-functioning burnout and why so many women are silently suffering
💥 Whether trauma can actually damage the brain—and how to start healing it
💥 What brain scans reveal about the lies we’ve been told about success, rest, and worth
💥 The #1 thing women should stop doing right now to protect their mental and emotional health
This isn’t just about brain science—it’s about remembering your power.
Because when you heal your brain…
You heal your life.
And you rise.
Tune in. Take notes. Share it with every woman you know who’s been told to "just push through."
