The Psychology of Learning & Steps to be have a more POSITIVE life!

Feeling stuck or uninspired? Here's why learning something new could change your brain and your life.

In this season opener, Sinead Hegarty brings a refreshing wave of energy and wisdom, reflecting on her recent personal milestones and what she's been learning along the way. From studying positive psychology to completing a half marathon, Sinead draws compelling links between everyday habits and brain-enhancing science.

She dives deep into how learning new things boosts neuroplasticity, memory, and even emotional regulation by strengthening your brain’s gray matter and prefrontal cortex. Through heartfelt personal stories and scientific insights, she reveals how meditation and learning spark dopamine, build cognitive reserves, and even mimic the psychological effects of “runner’s high.”

Future episodes promise to explore relationships, early love, and spiritual growth, all through a psychology-backed lens.

🎧 If you’re ready to feel inspired, mentally sharper, and more connected to your purpose, this episode is your sign to press play.
