Description

This episode will change the way you think about your childhood.

Today, we’re joined by Dr. Nadine Burke Harris, California’s first Surgeon General, pediatrician, and author of The Deepest Well.

Her groundbreaking work on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) has transformed how millions understand health, trauma, and resilience.

She breaks down how childhood experiences can shape your brain, body, and health—and why even subtle moments from the past can leave a lasting mark.

You’ll learn simple, proven tools she uses with patients (and in her own life) to heal, manage stress, and break old patterns.

By the end, you’ll see your past— and your future— in a whole new way.

If you’ve ever wondered why certain challenges keep coming back, this episode is for you.
