In this episode, Dr Sarah McKay, a neuroscientist, author, and mom, joins Yvonne. They talk about a wide range of topics, including the biggest misconception about the female brain, what happens to the brain during pregnancy, PMS, and a range of other fascinating subjects. Dr McKay also explains why the idea that the Reticular Activating System (RAS) is the centre of manifestation is not backed up by neuroscience.
