She unpacks the layers of psychology and neuroscience that inform our daily conduct, offering a blueprint for authentic and transformative engagement with ourselves and the world around us.TakeawaysShowing up is a choice we make every day, and it determines the quality of our interactions and the impact we have on others.There are two types of attention in our brain: the left hemisphere focuses on getting things done, while the right hemisphere allows us to connect with others on a deeper level.Most people tend to just show up, going through the motions and multitasking, but true fulfillment comes from truly showing up and being present in our interactions.We are not just individuals, but also members of various roles and larger societal structures. Recognizing and embracing these roles can lead to a greater sense of connectedness and purpose. Showing up differently and impacting others can create a butterfly effect, leading to positive changes in people's lives.The loneliness epidemic is a result of our lack of interconnectedness and care for one another.Attending to our moments and choosing how we show up can have a profound impact on our well-being and relationships.Making others feel felt is a powerful way to connect and create meaningful moments.Using both hemispheres of the brain allows us to see the big picture and make more holistic choices.Seeing the whole and healing ourselves requires us to show up fully and embrace our interconnectedness.Showing up differently can lead to personal transformation and a more fulfilling life.For a transcript of this episode, go to www.startergirlz.com.
