I used to love a show called Bill Nye, the Science Guy.

It was a kid science show with experiments and some laughs and actually what's

funniest about all of this is when I think back to when or why I would watch that

show I it's bizarre to me because I wasn't really a science kind of girl growing up.

I loved cooking, gardening, writing letters. I mean, not much has changed with any of that.

But also during my childhood STEM wasn't something I ever remember people talking about let alone steam. I

love that that is what kids and girls especially are encouraged to sink their teeth into today,

but as a kid in the 80s, that wasn't what I was exposed to.

And yet as an adult, while science may still not really be my thing, my fascination with

understanding how we're wired, digging deep, and understanding the chemistry behind something, that's very much present for me.

And as luck would have it, amidst the stack of books on my bedside table,

I stumbled across a concept in one that explores how we change the way we think and even

rewire our brains.

I got my pen, I marked it up, I don't know if you're like me with books where you scribble

it up, you highlight, you make little stars on things that just stand out for you because

when I saw this it immediately made me think of archetypes and what we've been working on throughout this season.

Because if these labels and boxes are so ingrained in our thinking

that we subconsciously judge, engage, or limit both ourselves and others as a result of them then the larger question is what's the fix is it cultural

conversation perhaps is it learning? Well, yeah, learning is always good, but how do we actually

do the reframing? And is it possible to actually rewire those thoughts. So in this book they posited a concept that stay

with me. Stay with me if you're like oh she's getting woo-w-woo, I'm not. I'm getting scientific.
