Your Resonant Body with Sarah Peyton: Brain Circuits, Childhood Contracts & Reconceiving Addiction

The Brilliant Body Podcast with Ali Mezey

CONTENT HEADS UP: Expect brain science with a side of profanity. Yup, in discussing the resonance of swear words we use several of them. But the main course is a frank discussion of brain circuits, unconscious contracts, resonant mothering, the chemical strategy of addiction, and challenges of feeling like you belong to Earth. This episode may make you want to hug your mom, empower your disgust circuit and say “NO” more often.

SYNOPSIS:

Sarah skillfully merges brain science and resonant language to gently address personal and collective trauma.

Internationally acclaimed as an author and teacher, Sarah reflects on her Alaskan upbringing, unraveling the intricacies of resonance, brain circuits, and neurotransmitters.
