Description

Most people think recharging means doing less. But neuroscience tells us: it’s not just stepping away from work that resets your brain — it’s what you do with that time that matters.

In this episode of The Art and Science of Thriving, I reveal why so many high-achievers finish vacations or breaks still feeling drained — and what to do instead.

You’ll learn:

• Why passive “escapes” like Netflix or scrolling don’t actually recharge your brain.
• The science behind true recovery — including NSDR, green time, awe, play, and slow-wave sleep.
• What happens in your brain when you really rest — from glymphatic system detox to DMN activation.
• Four evidence-based shifts to help you design recovery that actually works.

Whether you're heading into summer or just need a reset, this episode will help you recharge in a way that fuels performance, creativity, and well-being.
