The Brain Scrub
The Brain Scrub starting in June, 2026, is about two men sharing how they are living an authentic, engaging, and intentional life in their 50's. Regardless of the turbulence in their life, they learned that we all have agency to live our best life. The purpose of the show is to share how living your best life can be accelerated by self-care, authenticity, and building community.
This podcast explains a path to living a more authentic life by taking a courageous look at self and focusing on what can be controlled.
We are not an experts and the tools and techniques shared are based on research, practice, and ideas. For mental or physical health challenges, please seek the advice of a qualified practitioner. Absolutely seek professional help to deal with trauma, depression, personality disorders, etc. Support is out there - get it.

Quite often people complain about others. What do we get out of it other than a bit of "I am right, they are not", support from others, care, but void possibly of agency. By seeing our part in how life plays out, we are better able to manage situations, remove some negative thinking from our lives and hopefully go to sleep with a clear head. That is what this episode is about.

Just returned from a trip to Japan and Indonesia which was eye opening. Other parts of this world are so content and happy - why? Happiness starts from within. I asked a couple of Indonesians: "Do you love yourself?. The response was "Yes, of course!". Another one was "Yes, if not, I would be struggling up until now." Those words inspired me to be happy with me, what I have and the community I am blessed to be part of. Thanks to my friends from the UK for an outstanding travel experience!

In this episode I talk essentially about how many of us 'play it safe' and the impact of not asserting our interests or listening to others, has an impact. We are all humans doing the best we can and in conflict, if we can truly see the other person and understand their perspectives and take action, in my opinion, we would be far better off in creating a better world.

First of all, shout out to Madi who has an inspiring and educational Youtube Channel titled the Anti-Alienation Project. Her website is https://www.theantialienationproject.com. I have learned so much from her and what an alienated child goes through. Also, thanks to Joe Rogan who had Johann Hari on his show who has written a book on Motivation. This episode is based on his writings in "Lost Connections".

Thanks Loyal Listeners and I have changed the name of the podcast to spread the word of my journey as an alienated parent. ('The Brain Scrub' was the former name) I find its so helpful to share stories, ideas, and more with others going through this about how we cope, so we don't feel as alone. The show content is still beneficial for anyone who is trying to optimize their mental and physical health.
Thanks for listening!

In this episode, I am not talking about limiting beliefs like "I am not good enough", I am taking it to a level deeper. You are about to find out how to get conscious about the unconscious. Fast forward after this episode was published - I think I am living into "I am worthy of being rejected".
