As an industry leader, you understand that your organisation is only as strong as its people, and now, more than ever, ensuring their mental resilience is paramount.

According to AON, just 15% of employees are resilient within organisations that don't offer health and wellbeing initiatives.

A study by the Resilience Institute showed that resilience training reduced average depression symptoms by 44%, and helped participants improve their overall health and well-being.

I'm a neuroscientist and mental resilience expert. Through my extensive background in psychology, neuroscience, and behavioural science, I've developed REWIRE – a mental resilience programme designed to turn stress into a source of strength.

I'M IN VOGUE, BABY! ✨ ✨ ✨

Not for a fashion shoot (though that dream lives on)... but as a neuroscientist 🧠

I always thought my Vogue debut would involve couture - turns out, it's about the science of hypnosis and the incredible, suggestible state our brains enter when deeply focused.

So honored to be featured in Vogue discussing how altered states of consciousness work - and how science is demystifying them.

To celebrate, here are a few of my own fashion moments, because why not :)

I help companies build resilient, engaged and happy workforces with no nonsense neuroscience.

I was at the #BAFTAs and here's what it taught me about... 

🥲 

Okay, more importantly, today we're talking about how to use neuroscience principles to boost your confidence.

In neuroscience, confidence isn’t just a feeling- it’s a calculation. 

It reflects how likely your brain thinks a decision is correct.

This process (metacognition) is built into the way we learn, adapt, and grow.

What’s fascinating is that confidence emerges from the same neural circuits that drive decision-making. 

Areas like the prefrontal cortex and parietal cortex track how strong the evidence is, weigh it against your expectations, and adjust your confidence accordingly.

So what does this mean in real life?

If confidence is the brain’s estimate of how often you’re right, then the more decisions you make and learn from, the better your brain gets at calibrating confidence. 

Approaching life with an experimental mindset- trying things, testing hypotheses, learning from feedback - literally wires your brain for more confident thinking.

Confidence isn’t about never being wrong. 
It’s about being willing to make decisions, observe outcomes, and adjust.

In other words: Act. Reflect. Iterate. Repeat. 

That’s how scientists build knowledge (and how you and your team can build confidence).

Have you ever broken up with a friend?

Friendship breakups happen all the time, but it's not often talked about (and we don't have a lot of good advice around it!)

These breakups aren’t always loud - sometimes they’re slow fades, unspoken misalignments, or the quiet ache of outgrowing people you once loved.

 As someone who studies the brain and mental wellbeing, I know that connection and communication are core to our emotional resilience. I talk about this in my workshops ALL. THE. TIME. 

But I also talk about being mindful and knowing when a connection no longer supports who you’re becoming.

Over the years, I’ve navigated a few friendship endings- not easy, but incredibly clarifying. 

The space they’ve left has made room for new, aligned relationships.

Like this one, with my brilliant friend Michelle Elman - life coach, truth-teller, and now author of Bad Friend, an amazing new book about the complexities of ending friendships.

Neuroscience shows that our brains are wired for belonging, but the quality of our relationships matters more than quantity. 

When we honour that, we grow deeper, not just wider.

So here’s to the beauty of conscious disconnection, and to the new beginnings it makes possible. 

If you're going through a friendship breakup and don't know where to begin, you can pre-order Michelle's book now!

Just wrapped a deeply human session at The Watercooler & The Office 2025 at ExCeL London - it was so special!

“Refill the Cup: A Guided Rest for People Leaders” wasn’t a talk. 
It wasn’t a panel.
It was a pause.

A space for HR leaders, CPOs, and people-first professionals to lay down the weight they carry (often silently), reconnect with their purpose, and feel seen.

We sat in stillness.

We acknowledged the invisible emotional labour of holding space for others.

And in a conference full of big ideas, innovation, and strategy- we made room for something equally powerful: rest as leadership.

Grateful to everyone who showed up with open hearts.

To those who whispered “thank you, I really needed that” on the way out — same.

Sometimes the most radical thing we can offer leaders is permission to exhale and acknowledge the impact of their work.

If you'd like to organise a talk or a workshop for your team, please reach out!

Thanks Lee Godwin for the opportunity!

Honoured to be speaking (and facilitating a very special experience) at The Watercooler & The Office 2025 event at ExCeL London!

I'll be leading a workshop titled designed especially for CPOs, HR managers, and people leaders, this immersive session is all about giving back to those who carry so much unseen emotional weight in their roles.

Instead of a traditional talk, this will be a deeply interactive experience focused on:

🧠 Processing and releasing emotional burden
💡 Reconnecting with the human side of leadership
🌟 Reflecting on the invisible wins that shape teams and cultures
🧘 And of course, the science of meditation.

I'm really looking forward to creating a calming, sensory space for real reset and reflection. Thanks Lee Godwin for trusting me with this!

Come join us and leave feeling lighter, recharged, and seen.

Imagine leading with more clarity. 
Responding instead of reacting. 
Feeling focused, even in chaos.

That’s not just wishful thinking. It’s what happens when we train our minds like we train our bodies.

We see it in the brain scans: mindfulness physically reshapes the brain- strengthening areas tied to emotional regulation, attention, and stress resilience.

By the way, this isn't about sitting cross-legged in silence. 
It's just about showing up to life differently and learning a new skill - how to focus your attention.

I host 20 minutes of free mindfulness every Wednesday at 12 PM - a short reset that can shift your entire day, and eventually, your brain.

Everyone’s welcome: teams, leaders, colleagues, skeptics. No sign-up. Just show up. Do it for mental health week!

Want the link? Message me with your email address.
Your brain will thank you.

"MEDITATION IS BETTER AT REDUCING PAIN THAN MORPHINE"

I saw a neuroscientist post this statement with a link to the study, and even though a lot of my work revolves around meditation and it's benefits...

I disagree.

I think it's pretty misleading.

Imagine telling someone with chronic pain that they should just 'meditate'.

For more context on why I think this is a silly conclusion, even though thats;s the conclusion the authors came to, check out the carousel ->

The thing your office needs that you never thought about:

Silence.

In most workplaces, noise is everywhere- constant notifications, open-plan chatter, construction outside the window. 

If your team is feeling burned out, scattered, or struggling to focus...it might not be the workload. 

If people aren't as productive as you thought they'd be when you implemented return to office initiatives... it might not be that they're lazy.

It might be the noise.

Chronic noise exposure harms cognitive performance, increases stress, disrupts sleep and focus.

So, here's what you can do:

 🧠 Create quiet rooms or “deep work” zones
 🧘 Offer short guided meditations or silent breaks (even just 20 mins a week)
 🎧 Subsidize noise-canceling headphones
 🌿 Encourage nature walks or off-screen time without meetings
 📴 Build in notification-free hours across teams

None of this requires a full culture overhaul. 

But small shifts like this can make a big impact on clarity, creativity, and well-being.

I explore the science of silence in more detail in my newsletter, including why silence boosts neuroplasticity and how it enhances team performance.

Employees face 56 interruptions a day on average (UC Irvine). 

Training willpower helps individuals stay focused, prioritise under pressure, and protect cognitive bandwidth.

In neuroscience we call this executive function and self-regulation. It underpins almost every behaviour that leads to success, resilience, and ethical decision-making.

Here an excerpt from my interview with The Sun, on how sleep and willpower affects snacking.

Not your usual neuroscience post BUT I think you'll know someone who will want to tune in...

One of my missions with Brainwave is to debunk a lot of the health and wellness crap you see from celebs and influencers. 

I've been setting up events (online and IRL) with CREDIBLE and well educated people with their morals in place to be a reliable source of information for you.

Our next online event is with Jordan Feigenbaum, a physician and founder of Barbell Medicine. We'll talk about how to eat to fuel your body, why most supplements aren't worth the hype, how to gain muscle while losing fat without falling for any gimmicks or fads. Of course, we'll also be talking about what the brain needs in order to function properly.

Tickets in comments. Hope to see you there (and please feel free to share!)

Mental health isn’t just a personal issue - it’s a workplace one.

For most employees, one third of their life is spent at work. 
(The average person will spend 90,000 hours at work over a lifetime)

That's why I think it's the employers responsibility help their teams take care of their brains.

Here are 3 evidence-based ways companies can support brain health on the job:

1️⃣ Protect It
Create a culture that normalises balance. Encourage limits on alcohol at work events, offer resources for substance misuse, and actively promote rest, and stop glorifying burnout.

2️⃣ Challenge It
Stimulate continuous learning. Provide access to new skills, cross-training, and microlearning platforms (and dare I say... mental fitness workshops with Brainwave?) A mentally engaged employee is a mentally healthier one.

3️⃣ Connect It
Foster meaningful social interaction. Build team connection into the workweek- through mentoring, peer learning, and open spaces for real conversations. Social isolation is a brain health risk, even at work. 

If you want high-performing teams, a good place to start is with mentally healthy humans.

This #MentalHealthWeek (and beyond), I dare you to take a bold step toward better brain health. DM to see what we can implement for your team!

Neuroscience & Wellbeing at Work - 20 Mindful Minutes 

Tired brains crave junk food. 

Here's why, and what to do about it.

If you’ve ever reached for chips or chocolate late at night knowing you weren’t truly hungry, it’s not just about “willpower” it’s biology.

As someone who speaks and teaches on sleep, the brain, and mindful behaviour change, I’m often asked:

👉 Why do we snack more at night?
👉 How does sleep affect eating patterns?

Here’s the science in plain English:

✅ Poor sleep disrupts two key appetite hormones
1. ghrelin (which increases hunger) 
2. leptin (which signals fullness)

When you're sleep-deprived, you're biologically primed to crave high-calorie, high-fat foods. Your hunger hormone increases, and you also feel less full. So unfair, I know 🫠 

Thats not the end of the story...

✅ Your brain’s reward system becomes more sensitive to food cues after sleep loss, especially at night- meaning that cookie looks extra tempting.
✅ And by the evening, decision fatigue sets in. Your prefrontal cortex (your self-control hub) is tired too- making you more impulsive and less likely to resist.


But here’s the good news: understanding the brain makes behaviour change easier. If you want some tips, check out my latest newsletter article!

Sleep isn’t just rest- 
It’s a core pillar of behaviour, self-regulation, and health. 

If we want to change our habits, we need to start with understanding the brain!
