83: How To Rewire Your Brain With Nicole Neuroscience

From across the world, Nicole Vignola (aka Nicole Neuroscience), neuroscientist, organizational consultant, and author, is in the studio to talk with Sabrina about the impact of neuroplasticity on daily life, particularly in the context of dating and relationships. Neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to form new connections, is reinforced by consistency and can help change unproductive patterns learned in childhood. For instance, frequent texting early in a relationship can create anxiety and a dopamine-driven expectation that meeting in person often fails to meet. This mismatch occurs because the brain anticipates rewards from predictable behaviors like texting, but prefers the unpredictability that real-life interactions offer. Nicole emphasizes that changing these patterns involves understanding and leveraging the brain’s mechanisms, such as using visualization and breathing exercises to manage stress and avoid catastrophizing. By rewiring our brains to handle emotions better, we can build resilience and improve our relationships. Compassion for oneself during this process is crucial, as positive behavioral changes foster better outcomes. Get Nicole's book Rewire HERE!
