  • Episode #191: You Don’t Need Willpower — You Need Coherence
    Oct 12 2025

    You don’t need more willpower. You need coherence.
    Trying harder isn’t the answer — it’s your brain that needs realignment. Neuroscience shows that willpower lives in your prefrontal cortex, but when dopamine spikes from overstimulation, that part of your brain literally goes offline. That’s why white-knuckling through temptation never works.


    True discipline isn’t about control — it’s about coherence. When your nervous system is balanced and your higher self is in control, discipline flows naturally. You don’t conquer temptation; you outgrow it.


    If you’ve been trying to “be stronger,” this episode will show you a new way — the neuroscience of sacred order: thought → intention → aligned action → integrity.

  • Episode #189: Dopamine Hijack: How Screens Miswire Your Brain and How to Rewire It Back
    Oct 5 2025

    Dopamine Hijack: How Screens Miswire Your Brain (and How to Rewire It Back)

    Have you ever opened your phone to “just check one thing”… and suddenly 45 minutes are gone? That isn’t weakness—it’s your brain being hijacked.

    Dopamine, the chemical that drives motivation, gets rewired by screens to chase novelty and notifications instead of real-life rewards. Over time, that leaves you fragmented in focus, drained of motivation, and disconnected from who you really are.

    The good news? Your brain can change. Neuroplasticity is the same power that miswired you—and it’s the same power that can rewire you. By creating screen-free rituals, training your nervous system to calm focus, and redirecting dopamine into purpose, connection, and creativity, you can reset your pleasure pathways and reclaim your motivation.

    Your brain was never designed for endless scrolling. It was designed for joy, focus, and real intimacy. Don’t let screens steal that from you.

  • Episode #188: Supernormal Creativity – Hijacked by Noise, Rewired for Flow
    Sep 28 2025

    Supernormal Creativity – Hijacked by Noise, Rewired for Flow:

    Feeling stuck and uninspired? That’s not a lack of talent—it’s your brain hijacked by screens and constant noise. Digital distractions shut down your creativity networks and keep you locked in survival mode. But here’s the truth: your spark isn’t gone—it’s buried. By creating silence, setting boundaries around what you consume, and giving your brain space to play, you can reignite your flow state.

    Want to see how your brain is functioning? Visit drtrishleigh.com to learn about brain mapping and programs that help you reset your nervous system and reclaim your creativity. If explicit matter has pulled you in, grab my book Mind Over Explicit Matter or check out my Pleasure Pathways Reset program. Your brain can heal—and your creativity can thrive again.
