Do you have brain bouncers blocking your goals?
No, really—we're not talking about the velvet-rope kind of bouncers (though wouldn’t that be fun?). We’re talking about the ones in your mind that determine what gets through… and what doesn’t.

In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on one of the most powerful and overlooked features of your brain: the Reticular Activating System—a.k.a. the RAS.

This episode is especially for you if: ✨ You’ve ever felt like you’re working hard but not gaining traction
 ✨ You’re ready to stop reacting and start designing your days
✨ You’re craving more intention, abundance, and clarity in your life and leadership

We’ve all heard the phrase, “What you focus on grows.” But what if that’s not just cute advice—it’s actual neuroscience?

Your RAS is the gatekeeper between your conscious and subconscious mind. It’s the internal filter scanning your world 24/7 for what matters to you. That red car you suddenly see everywhere? That’s your RAS in action. The neighborhood you never noticed—until you started house hunting? Yep, RAS again.

So how do we use this system to our advantage?

In this episode, Alex and Carol get personal, playful, and practical as they walk you through:

  • 🔍 What the RAS is and why it matters to your goals

  • 🧠 How your brain decides what to notice (and what to ignore)

  • ✨ The power of DIA (Decide In Advance) and how it primes your focus

  • 📝 Simple daily practices to activate your RAS and bring your vision into view

  • 💥 Real-world stories that show how shifting your belief system literally changes what you see

You’ll walk away with fresh insights and powerful mindset tools to rewire your focus, reclaim your time, and reimagine what’s possible—on your terms.

Because creating a life of purpose, power, and possibility starts in your mind.
And you don’t need to hustle harder—you need to train your focus better.

🎧 Tune in now to discover how to work with your brain—not against it—and watch what happens when you finally see the opportunities that were there all along.
