But, to do so, we have to be willing to get an understanding of our BRAIN and to ensure we're living life with a WHOLE BRAIN approach. Today's guest, Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor is helping us do just that.  WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor is a Harvard-trained and published neuroscientist. In 1996 she experienced a severe hemorrhage in the left hemisphere of her brain causing her to lose the ability to walk, talk, read, write, or recall any of her life.
