"Wherever You Go, There You Are" by Jon Kabat Zinn is what started it all for Deanne after receiving a diagnosis of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). She became a Brain Health Coach with the Amen Clinic and used herself as a test subject to get her brain back.

In this episode, Deanne shares how she used her diagnosis of ADD to get her health under control, become aware of what she was exposing herself to, and learn how to check in with her body, increase mindfulness, and healthier ways to stimulate dopamine, or the feel good hormone.

Deanne explains that a mindfulness practice can start with just a few seconds of noticing what is going on in the present moment to gradually increasing the ability to look within and noticing the signals the body is giving you.

Benefits of mindfulness: increases dopamine stimulation, allows for full experience of a moment, builds connection, brings out what you value, and allows you to listen to your heart.

In this episode, Peggy highlights some of her takeaways from the movie, Inside Out 2, viewed through the lens of her experience as a mom to 5 girls and as a mental health therapist. She also gives her reasons why this movie about changes in girls as they enter puberty mirrors some perimenopause symptoms for women

later in life.

Inside Out 2 is a great movie about the various feelings we have and what goes on in the mind as we experience those feelings. Sometimes it may feel like we are hijacked by our emotions and feelings, that we have no control over them, but we do.

Some main points about the movie include:

• Our memories make beliefs.
• Our bodies and minds store everything that happens to us.
• You create the meaning of your experiences.
• Every emotion / feeling is good for you.
• Your imagination can work for you or against you.

Listen as Peggy gives reason this movie is not only about the changes in mood for girls going through puberty, but also women going through perimenopause.
