So what if you could have your best friend with you? All the time. I'm neuroscientist Rachel Barr, and in my new book, How to Make Your Brain Your Best Friend, I'll explain how understanding your brain can strengthen your friendships,

boost your self-esteem and increase your confidence because you don't choose your brain,

but you can make it a better friend to you, your best friend, in fact.

How to Make Your Brain Your Best Friend is out now. Music Hello and welcome to Forever 35 podcast about the things we do to take care of ourselves. I'm Dori Schifere.

And this right here is a mini episode where we hear from you. We share her comments and your thoughts and we answer your questions to the best of our ability. But please remember, we are not

This is a two-way conversation, right? It's not like one to many. It's an ongoing living,

breathing conversation with y'all every week, which is why we're so glad that you tune in every

week because, yeah, we've gotten some really good hacks this year regarding the 2-2 cleaning

and my charging cables keep going missing inexplicably.

Where do they go?

Do they go to like the same place as the other sock?

You know how like the other sock always goes missing from the dryer?
