Understanding neuroplasticity will change your entire life 16.07.2026 20minThe biggest lie we can tell ourselves is "this is just who I am." I'm just anxious. I'm just not disciplined. I've always been like this. It feels like self-awareness, but it's the most limiting sentence you can say, because the moment you decide something about you is fixed, you stop trying to change it. And the thing is: change is possible.This episode is about neuroplasticity — the science of how our brain physically rewires itself every single day. If you've ever felt stuck, written yourself off as "I'm just that kind of person," or felt like you'll never be able to change, this one is for you 🫶🏼I hope you'll enjoy this episode as much as I did researching it!

Why delusional self belief is a superpower (the neuroscience is wild) 09.07.2026 19min"You have to be freakin delusional!!", is what I see all over my Instagram. This delulu is the solulu trend might seem ridiculous, but I went down a neuroscience rabbit hole — and what I found completely changed how I feel about it. It turns out believing before you see it isn't naive. Your brain is doing something real, and kind of incredible, when you do it.But I also found the catch. The exact point where "delulu" stops helping you and starts holding you back. And that part surprised me the most.I hope you'll enjoy this episode as much as I did researching it!

Mid year reset: the pep talk you didn’t know you needed 25.06.2026 30minWe're half way through this year, and I want us to make the absolute most out of these next 6 months. I want to be honest with you in this one: the last few weeks have not been my best. Nothing horrible happened, I'm fine, I'm healthy, everything's okay, but I'd quietly let myself drift. Skipping workouts. Binge-watching shows. Calling things "self-care" that had actually become self-sabotage. And the frustration of knowing I could do better while not doing better was one of the most uncomfortable feelings I've sat with this year.That's why this week's episode is a little pep talk for you and me, to get back on track, refocus, and re-enter our discipline era 🤍I hope it helps you wherever you are right now, and I send you lots and lots of energy and love!!! 🫶🏼 Thank you so much for listening 🥹LINKS: Whoop 30 day free trial:join.whoop.com/HWHNicoleKerastase Serum:https://go.shopmy.us/p-15406052CHAPTERS:00:00 Intro04:33 Seeking discomfort07:04 Challenge yourself10:41 The 5 non-negotiables15:10 Making progress17:18 The most powerful mindset shift21:20 Stopping the scroll23:49 Consciously seeking inspiration28:43 Wrap up -

Why you never feel good enough: the neuroscience of self-worth 25.04.2026 28minThis is the most personal episode I've ever recorded so far. Because I'm talking about something I've carried my entire life: the feeling of never being good enough. No matter what I achieve, no matter how many people tell me I'm doing great, there's always this quiet voice underneath saying: no you're not. In this episode, I break down what's actually happening in our brain when we feel this way. And then even more importantly, the practical, science-backed ways to change it.I hope this episode is helpful for you wherever you are on this journey right now, and I'm just incredibly grateful you are giving me your time to listen to it.

You're not stuck - you're in the wrong environment 17.04.2026 37min"You're not just the average of the 5 people closest to you. You're the average of the 5 places, the 5 routines, and the 5 inputs you're exposed to most. Every space you occupy is voting on who you become." @tishrayThis quote gave me goosebumps, and in this week's episode, I go into the neuroscience behind WHY our surroundings have this much power over who we become, and what we can do to use that to our absolute advantage, to become the best possible versions of ourselves.I hope you'll enjoy it!!! 🤍Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicolebroegger/For behind the scenes, additional resources, and more tips come to the Truly Well Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/trulywellpodcast/CHAPTERS00:00 INTRO01:41 CITY10:45 HOME14:49 SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT28:26 MENTAL ENVIRONMENT -
I want to do everything so I end up doing nothing 09.04.2026 27minIf you're someone who has 100 ideas, 20 tabs open, and a notes app full of dreams — but somehow nothing actually gets done — this episode is for you.This podcast episode was literally a week late because I couldn't decide which topic to record. I kept going back and forth, I procrastinated, I recorded one and hated it, I got completely sidetracked by other things, and then ended up doing nothing. And that's when it got so clear to me, that this pattern I've been stuck in is the same one so many of us are trapped in: wanting to do everything, and ending up doing nothing.In this episode, I'm breaking down the neuroscience of why this happens (spoiler: it's NOT a discipline problem), and what actually works to break out of the freeze. By the end, you'll understand why your brain does this — and you'll have a real, practical plan to finally start finishing things.
