Welcome to the Secret Life of Wonder Woman podcast. My name is Linda Todd. In 2010 while working in the Gaza Strip, I got sick and ended up with encephalitis, which is inflammation of the brain brought on by an unknown infection. This left me with a brain injury that, according to my neurologist, made my brain look like that of one of her elderly Alzheimer’s patients. I was 45 years old. After being given no hope of a recovery and no clue how to even try, I set out to learn how to rescue my own brain. I started by devising my own brain rehab program and continued studying books written by brain experts to bring my brain to as full a recovery as possible. What I learned was what an absolute miracle our brains are! Thanks to the discovery of neuroplasticity, I learned that my brain was capable of exactly what I needed from it! I have shared my knowledge and discoveries with others who have neurological damage or whose loved ones do and I want to share this with YOU! Brain health affects EVERYONE so tune in, subscribe and get ready to learn some really cool stuff about THE most important organ in your body! The control centre, your amazing brain.

Everyday we are faced with choices to make. Choose wisely but don’t overthink it. Don’t try to decide what everyone else is thinking in order to make your decision. Be blessed and, in turn, be a blessing to others. Our choices can either build us up or lead to bitterness. Know your values and purpose well enough to know which is which, and choose what is in line with that. And allow that others will do the same without you trying to manage their choices for them

I learned 2 major lessons while I was recovering in an Israeli hospital - one was the power of gratitude, grace and mercy and the other lesson was the victory of accumulated tiny wins.

Do you feel like you’re caught in a loop of just repeating the same mundane day over and over? Take heart! Today we’ll talk about harnessing our thoughts to change how how brains work and so be able to create the day - and life - that we want! I share some ideas from Dr Caroline Leaf’s amazing book “Switch On Your Brain” published in 2013. I’m so glad she published her book just when I had healed enough to start reading again!
