Brains Gone Bold Podcast
Hey there! We’re Jeanine and Maria – two curious minds who love to go off-script and talk about everything from leadership to love, and all the messy stuff in between.
This show is for anyone who likes to laugh, learn, and maybe even cringe a little (in a good way). Sometimes we’ll make you stop and think. Other times? You’ll be laughing out loud.
We don’t have all the answers but we do ask big questions, share real stories, and talk about things people don’t always say out loud.
So if you're into deep chats, fun vibes, and real talk, you’re in the right place.
Please follow, subscribe, like, and share. You will not want to miss an episode!

Your Brain is Lying to You
Ever felt like your brain hijacked your day? You’re calm one minute, spiraling the next, and suddenly your heart’s racing over something that didn’t even happen? Yeah, us too.
In this episode of Brains Gone Bold, Maria shares something that’s been genuinely life-changing: what she learned from Dr. Bill Crawford’s Life from the Top of the Mind. It’s neuroscience meets real life and it might explain why stress, fear, and anxiety sometimes take the wheel before logic even buckles in.
Join Maria and Jeanine as they unpack:
- Why your brain can’t tell the difference between real and imagined stress.
- What happens when we “downshift” into survival mode (and how to shift back up).
- How a simple lemon exercise can prove your thoughts change your body.
- Why we lose access to creativity, calm, and connection when we live from the “lower brain.”
Maria opens up about her own creative blocks and anxiety, while Jeanine brings humor and heart, especially when “Brian” accidentally makes an appearance. (Don’t worry, it’s just the brain… maybe.)
It’s science, self-awareness, and laughter all in one conversation and it's an episode that will make you rethink what’s happening inside your head and how much power you actually have to change it.
