What if your brain isn’t broken—it's just doing its job?

Cognitive neuroscientist and keynote speaker Dr. Heather Collins joins Erica to break down the brain science behind feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just plain burnt out, and how to get unstuck with intention. From decoding fear responses to building a powerhouse memory, Dr. Collins brings neuroscience out of the lab and into your everyday life.

We dive into:
🧠 Why your brain resists change (and how to override it)
🧠 The secret to building an “expert brain” that works smarter, not harder
🧠 Why taking just 10 minutes a day can radically boost your career
🧠 The science of small shifts, habit loops, and how to rewire your fear response
🧠 And yes—where you put your damn keys matters more than you think

Plus, Erica shares her “40 Hard Things” challenge and the surprising brain benefits of simply asking for help. Tune in to learn the science-backed strategies that will make your brain your biggest career asset.
