Mindsip insights from this episode:

Examine self-betrayal to reclaim your values

Instead of focusing on how others have betrayed you, it's more powerful to examine the ways you have betrayed your own values and standards over time.

Prioritize research on female brain health due to Alzheimer's impact on women

Contrary to the old belief that it's just because women live longer, research now shows Alzheimer's disproportionately affects women, prompting a need for specific research into female brain health.

Fuel brain health with Mosh protein bar for dementia prevention

Maria Shriver co-created Mosh, a protein bar for the brain, based on the knowledge that lifestyle choices like nutrition have a huge impact on dementia and Alzheimer's risk.

Make lifestyle changes now to boost brain health at any age

Doctors confirm it's never too late to make lifestyle changes—like walking, lifting weights, and eating more protein—to improve your brain health, even if you're starting later in life.

Enter their reality to connect with individuals with dementia

When interacting with someone with dementia, it's more connecting to enter their reality, like agreeing traffic noise is a fountain, rather than constantly fighting to correct them.

Utilize plant medicine for self-love and healing

As part of her healing journey after her marriage ended, Maria Shriver used plant medicine, which she found to be very healing and helpful in learning to love herself.

Visualize positive future to heal fractured family relationships

To heal a fractured family relationship after divorce, visualize the positive future you want, such as being happy together at your children's future life events, and let that vision guide your actions.

Cultivate internal validation to achieve lasting 'enoughness'

The feeling of being 'enough' is an internal job and is not sustainably achieved through external validation like awards or bestseller lists, as that feeling is gone in minutes.
