  • Why I Scanned My Brain: Part II

    Why I Scanned My Brain: Part II
    Sep 8 2025

    In this vulnerable and eye-opening episode, business psychologist Stacey Pitts Caldwell shares what it was like to receive her brain scan results from Amen Clinics. The summary revealed patterns of both overactivity and under-activity across key regions: heightened thalamus and basal ganglia activity linked to anxiety and irritability; under-activity in the prefrontal cortex, cerebellum, and temporal lobes tied to focus, organization, and mood regulation challenges; plus signs of past injury and early cortical atrophy.

    Would she recommend a brain scan to others? Stacey shares a thoughtful answer—acknowledging the cost and access barriers, while highlighting the powerful self-awareness such an assessment can bring. This episode blends science, personal reflection, and professional insight, offering an honest look at what it means to truly see your brain and what to do with the knowledge it gives you.

  • Why I Scanned My Brain

    Why I Scanned My Brain
    May 22 2025
    In this powerful premiere episode of Brain at Work, business psychologist Stacey Pitts Caldwell opens up about her decision to undergo a brain scan at the renowned Amen Clinics. Inspired after watching Dr. Daniel Amen on The Diary of a CEO, Stacey began to question how years of high-performance leadership, mounting stress, and the onset of perimenopause were affecting her brain health. With a deep commitment to personal insight and professional growth, she shares what led her to invest in a SPECT scan—a neuroimaging tool that maps brain function and blood flow. Stacey walks listeners through the comprehensive assessment process, which examines biological, psychological, social, and spiritual factors that shape well-being. The episode dives into how brain function influences leadership effectiveness, decision-making, and productivity—especially for high-achieving professionals. From addressing the price tag to exploring access and equity in mental health care, this episode sets the stage for a deeply personal and thought-provoking series. Whether you're a leader, coach, or simply brain-curious, Stacey’s journey challenges you to rethink what it really means to take care of your mind.
