Hi, welcome to the Passion and Purpose podcast with me, your host, Louis Giglio. I'm so glad you're

here for this special episode. I'm going to tell you more about that in just one moment. But I just

want to say thanks for being on the Passion and Purpose journey with us. Season one is coming to a

close very soon, and we're getting incredible feedback.

So if you're new to the podcast, I hope you enjoyed.

If you've been on the ride with us so far, make sure you're telling your friends,

your family, everybody you know about the conversations you think will encourage them the most.

And always, it helps when you leave a positive review because that lets the platform know that these

conversations matter to people and therefore the message reaches more and more people across the

planet. So welcome to the Passion and Purpose podcast where you're discovering how God is uniquely

gifted you and how you can use those gifts for his glory. Today's conversation

is going to be very stimulating and incredibly encouraging. I'm talking to Dr. Caroline Leif.

She is a communication pathologist and she's also a cognitive neuroscientist and she knows how

the brain works and she's going to help you understand how

your brain works. Therefore, she's going to help you change the way you think and changing the

way you think. It's going to change the way you live. So welcome to this conversation with

Dr. Caroline Leif.

Well, I am pumped to have Dr. Caroline Leif on the podcast today.

You don't know how excited I am because I have 100,000 questions to ask you.
