Breaking Brainblocks: Dr. Leigh Richardson and Dr. Theo Tsaousides on Training Your Brain for Success

On this episode of In Your Head, Dr. Leigh Richardson sits down with Dr. Theo Tsaousides—neuropsychologist, author, and international speaker—to explore what really holds us back from reaching our potential. As the author of Brainblocks: Overcoming the Seven Hidden Barriers to Success, Dr. Tsaousides explains how invisible mental barriers quietly sabotage creativity, productivity, and confidence—and how we can train our brains to push past them. Together, they discuss practical tools for building mental fitness, developing emotional intelligence, and transforming intention into action. With insights drawn from his work at Mount Sinai’s Brain Injury Research Center and years of coaching clients to peak performance, Dr. Tsaousides shows why success isn’t just about working harder—it’s about working smarter, with your brain on your side.
