Description

Poverty has such a measurable impact on your nervous system that we can see it in brain scans, yet we don't often talk about what those impacts look like. Benjamin Faye is back on the show to unpack some of the ways that poverty changes our brain chemistry, alters expectations, and increases struggles for self-regulation. And we discuss what healing can look like with in community and with support.
