Your Brain Believes You

Says Who?

Welcome to episode two of Nadine’s Corner: A Podcast! In this episode, I talk about perception, beauty standards, identity, and the invisible “lenses” we inherit long before we’re old enough to choose them for ourselves. Inspired by my essay, The Lens of the Beholder [https://nadinescornerr.substack.com/p/the-lens-of-the-beholder], this episode explores how neuroscience, culture, memory, and repetition shape the way we see ourselves and the world around us. From vision neuroscience and neuroplasticity to stories about my Egyptian-American upbringing, my grandma, Twilight Zone episodes, and even my childhood glasses fascination, this became a conversation about one question I keep coming back to: …says who? Maybe the way you see yourself was never as objective as you thought it was. Thank you so much for all the love on the first episode. I genuinely can’t explain how much it means to me ♡ This is a public episode.

Your Brain Believes You

Welcome to my first podcast episode! I am so excited to finally share this and start this new project with you guys<3 In this episode, I talk about neuroplasticity, mindset, self-belief, identity, and the stories we accidentally teach our brains to believe. Through personal stories about soccer, running, becoming a morning person, and finally starting this podcast after years of overthinking it, I explore how our thoughts shape the lives we build and the people we become. This episode was inspired by a question someone asked me after reading my post, “The Delusion of Becoming, [https://nadinescornerr.substack.com/p/the-delusion-of-becoming]” and honestly… this is my very long-winded answer. Maybe this is your sign to try the thing you keep talking yourself out of. Please give me feedback, and I hope you enjoy! This is a public episode.
