Latest podcast: Inside the whole brain

In this compelling episode, Dr Michelle Woolhouse speaks with Dr Jill Bolte Taylor, a Harvard-trained neuroanatomist whose left-brain stroke led to a profound journey of recovery, discovery, and transformation. Sharing insights from her bestselling book Whole Brain Living, Jill describes her eight-year path to rebuilding brain function one circuit at a time - revealing the distinct roles and personalities of the brain’s four key “characters.”

Listeners will explore how the left and right hemispheres process experience, memory, identity, and emotion in dramatically different ways, and how this understanding can guide emotional resilience and mental wellbeing. With practical insights like “the 90-second rule”, “the brain huddle,” and the role of sleep in healing, this episode offers a deeply human yet scientifically grounded roadmap for self-awareness and recovery.

An inspiring listen for healthcare practitioners, therapists, and anyone exploring the science of consciousness, emotion, and personal growth.
