A podcast exploring neuroscience, mental balance, and hope for the future.

Welcome to The Brain and Beyond Podcast.

Hi. I’m Ellen.

I’m an author, educator, speaker, and former technology pioneer who has witnessed firsthand the impact of our presumed “better ways” on our planet and all who call it home.

I’ve had times when I’ve lost hope. Easily done as we face the high stakes of this moment we’re all part of.

The Brain and Beyond Podcast is about changing that. With new looks at this human experience and inspiration from visionaries who activate paths forward, this podcast inspires the mindsets and actions that will shape your – and our – future.

A bit about me

Raised in Silicon Valley before it was Silicon Valley, I’ve lived firsthand the transition from a rich tapestry of life experiences to the linear pursuits of “more” that define so many lives today.

It’s a topic I’ve written about, spoken about – including a TEDx talk exploring the impact of our increasing reliance on technology – and that I’ve coached countless global leaders in navigating.

That’s not enough. The conversation about what we want from our future belongs to all of us. That’s what The Brain and Beyond Podcast will explore.
