Summary

Access Owning It Real Time HERE

Republishing one from the archives as it is one of my most listened to, and therefore most helpful episodes of all time.

I think this might be the most insightful and informative episode I've shared to date where Dr Michael Keane, Behavioural Neuroscientist and founder of actualise.ie, talks me through exactly how our brain functions when it comes to anxiety and how we are best posed to take back control. I've never had someone explain how our brains work and how anxiety can happen in the brain in as digestible a way as Dr Keane does here. We talk about everything from the neuroscience stance on mindfulness, the power of language to enhance or reduce our feelings of anxiety, how we can strengthen our prefrontal cortex to down regulate the limbic system and how incredibly normal it is that we are all walking around this world feeling a little bit anxious. If I had heard this conversation five years ago I would have been so incredibly reassured; I hope it empowers you to know that you absolutely can OWN IT.

1:03.7	Forring.
1:04.5	We are nearing the end now of season two, and I have saved one of the absolute best and most
1:10.1	informative conversations for this precise
1:12.2	point. In this episode, I am joined by behavioural neuroscientist Dr Michael Kane, who is the founder
1:18.2	of actualised clinic in Dublin, who explains the brain, our evolution, why we feel the way that we do
1:24.3	and react in the ways that we do in ways I've never gotten as much
1:28.0	clarity on before. When you think of a neuroscientist, you probably don't imagine someone quite
1:32.8	as approachable and down to earth and someone who explains things in such an unbelievably snackable
1:38.1	way as Michael does. I just so wish he is someone I would have met years ago. And I know that
1:43.9	if you're struggling right now, you will find this episode so helpful.
1:46.8	It's a little longer than usual, but there's just a lot to absorb and nothing I wanted to cut out because it's also valuable.
1:54.3	And I promise you you will not find a better understanding of your brain and your anxiety anywhere else.
1:59.2	Well, apart from my book owning it,
2:01.7	which is almost entirely confirmed by everything Dr. Kane says here. So that's very
