Everyday Decoded

Neuroscience made useful, one everyday question at a time

Much of my work is about creating clear, practical tools—streamlined down to their essence—so you can take action right away, confident they’re built on solid science.

This blog is where I let things be a little messier. It’s where my curiosity wanders, I connect dots across science and life, and I explore questions that don’t always have quick answers. Sometimes those reflections grow into the workshops, courses, and tools I share in my business. Sometimes they just stay as thoughtful detours worth writing down.

Here, you’ll find the behind-the-scenes thinking that fuels my programs—and the joy that comes from following the wandering path.

I write about stress, seasons, productivity, nutrition, parenting, and more. If I haven’t written about something you care about yet, please reach out! I love answering questions.
