Episode #17 The Body–Brain Science of Change: How to Thrive Through It

What happens when life throws you into change—whether it’s a new job, a relationship shift, a move, or simply that deep knowing something has to be different—and instead of excitement, all you feel is fear, paralysis, or overwhelm?

In this insightful solo episode, Dr. Anthea Todd unpacks the neuroscience of change and why your body so often resists it. From eclipses and repeating life patterns to the body–story–action framework, she explains how to work with your body (instead of against it) so change feels less like chaos—and more like growth.

Through real-life examples, body-based practices, and her signature science-meets-spirit approach, Anthea shows you how to move from stuck to flow, no matter what kind of transition you’re facing.

You’ll Hear About:

• Why eclipses often coincide with repeating patterns of relationships, jobs, and life events
• The brain’s three networks—body, story, and action—and how they shape your response to change
• What it means to get “stuck in story” (rumination, procrastination, paralysis)
• How to use the body as the remote control to shift your state and create momentum
• Why self-compassion is the secret ingredient to thriving in times of transition
• Practical tools to feel safe in your body and take action that actually sticks
  
   

“Your body is the remote control for change. When you get into your body and take aligned action, your story evolves—and so does your life.” — Dr. Anthea Todd
