    SURVEY ⁠⁠- Please take 3 Minutes and Complete this Survey. It will help us make a better show for you.

    Get ready for an episode of the Happy Brain podcast that will empower you to take charge of your mental and emotional well-being in the most enjoyable way possible! Join host Sean Bloch and special guest Dr. Sheila Carroll as they embark on a fascinating journey into two crucial topics: the surprising connection between food and mood, and the incredible importance of embracing our emotions.

    Discover the incredible impact of food on your mood, as Dr. Carroll sheds light on the destructive nature of certain foods and how they can affect our emotional well-being. But it doesn't stop there – get ready to dive deep into the world of emotions and learn why truly feeling and experiencing them without judgment or attempts to fix them is vital for a happier brain.

    Parents, you're in for a treat! This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom designed to help you enhance your emotional regulation skills and forge a deeper connection between the food you eat and the moods you experience. But don't worry – the relevance of these insights extends to everyone seeking to elevate their emotional well-being.

    Remember, allowing yourself and your children to fully express and experience emotions creates an environment of validation and support. Dr. Carroll emphasizes the importance of understanding and expressing your own feelings to better support your children on their emotional journey.

    - Destructive nature of food on mood

    - Recognizing and feeling emotions

    If you're feeling overwhelmed and exhausted from constantly trying to please others and ignoring your own needs, then you are not alone! Despite your efforts to achieve a balanced approach to mental health and wellness, you may find yourself constantly sacrificing your own self care for the sake of others' comfort.

    Hello there-

    Grateful to my brother, sister-in-law, friend Rachel and my two nephews for an amazing and touching two days. I went to Santa Cruz to mainly see my nephews play ball but it went so much deeper than that. This is a audio/video journal about baseball, the love of family and the serenity of Santa Cruz coast in making my brain very happy. It is a departure from our regular episode, but I can not be more proud to share this with you.
