A deep dive into Psychological and Physiological Hardiness , with Paul and Carly Taylor

We’ve all had moments where we reacted in ways we later regret.

In this episode, Carly explores a simple Stoic idea: you don’t rise to the moment, you fall to the level of your training.

Drawing on Seneca’s quote, “If you would not have a man flinch when the crisis comes, train him before it comes,” this episode is about preparing for life’s challenges so you can respond with intention, not reactivity.

Prepare For The Bad Stuff With Carly Taylor

Most of us are missing the true signs of brain health—and it's a costly mistake. In this episode I have a fascinating discussion with  neurotherapy pioneer Lara Schulz expose the hidden truth: how advanced brain assessments like EEG and ERP are revolutionising diagnosis and treatment, revealing biological signatures that conventional psychiatry ignores. If you've ever wondered why mental health conditions are expanding without clear biological markers, this episode offers a compelling, science-backed perspective—plus a glimpse into the future of mental health care rooted in true brain science.

You’ll discover how neurotherapy uses precise tools like QEEG, ERP, and AI database comparisons to differentiate between trauma, dementia, and psychiatric diagnoses that often are wrongfully assumed. Lara shares real-world stories of uncovering trauma profiles in elderly patients mistaken for neurodegenerative diseases—and how targeted neurostimulation can rewire the brain without drugs. Learn about the cutting-edge protocols involving transcranial stimulation, vagus nerve therapy, and light modulation that are transforming recovery in depression, PTSD, ADHD, and autism.
