Trust changes everything.
In this episode of Changing Minds, I explore the art and science of trust and why it matters so deeply, how it works in the brain, and what we can do to build it more intentionally with others and with ourselves. I break down the neuroscience behind trust, explain how our brains use prediction to decide who to trust, and share my 10 Cs of Trust framework, a practical checklist for becoming more trustworthy in leadership, relationships, and communication.
I also dive into one of the most overlooked forms of trust: self-trust and why it's the missing link in personal change, confidence, and follow-through.

Judgment is everywhere, and it's quietly tearing us apart.
In this episode of Changing Minds, I explore why being judgmental comes so naturally, how it fuels polarization, and why it damages both our relationships and our mental health. I break down the three ways we judge people, the psychological reasons behind it, and most importantly, practical tools you can use to stop falling into the judgment trap.
This is one of the most important conversations I've had in a long time, because if we want to heal division, influence others, and live with more compassion, we have to start by judging others and ourselves less.
