Send us Fan Mail“You own your narratives, so you own your brain. It doesn’t own you.” ~ Kohila SivasThe Power of Perspective: Kohila Sivas on Brain Ownership and HealingWhat if your brain wasn’t your master, but your student? In this deeply moving and transformative episode of The Remarkable People Podcast, Kohila Sivas joins David Pasqualone to share her journey from a silent child struggling in a new country to a powerful advocate for mental sovereignty.From Silence to Strength: A Journey of SurvivalAt just 12 years old, Kohila faced a darkness that led her to a suicide attempt. She opens up about the “seeds” planted in her mind by a difficult home life and the struggle to fit into a new culture. However, it was her survival that led to a paradigm shift: the realization that the brain can betray us with compelling lies, and that we have the power to write our own narrative.Questioning the Narrative: How to Take Control of Your MindKohila explains that we are often taught we have no control over our thoughts, but the truth is the opposite. By becoming “like a lawyer” and challenging every toxic or negative thought, we can reclaim our willpower. KEY TIMESTAMPS & MOMENTS OF GOLD00:01:11 – The Core Guarantee: Why owning your narrative is the key to life.00:01:43 – The Turning Point: Surviving a suicide attempt at age 12.00:03:46 – The Silent Child: Struggles with culture, language, and an alcoholic home.00:05:31 – The Lawyer Method: How to challenge and question every negative thought.00:06:43 – Ultimate Control: Reclaiming your willpower from toxic influences.REMARKABLE SPECIAL OFFER(S):REMARKABLE OFFER 1: Save 30% to 80% on EVERYTHING you order at MyPillow.com with Free Promo Code, “REMARKABLE“.
