Your Brain Loves Change: How I Reset My Brain at Harvard (and Why It Matters for Your Kids)

After my kids left for college and building a career in medicine, I felt like my brain was stuck on repeat. So I did something drastic—I went back to Harvard for a Master's degree in education. But it wasn’t just about getting a new degree. It was about rewiring my brain.

In this episode, we talk about:

🧠 How environment + input reshape the brain

📊 Why novelty protects against cognitive decline

💬 My meeting with Jasmin Hemdani (CMO of Oura)

👧 How we can raise emotionally resilient, data-literate kids
