The Neuroscience of Change: Why Your Brain Is More Ready Than You Think | Ep 388

Big change can feel disorienting even when you know it's the right move — and there's actual neuroscience behind why. In this episode of It's Your Time, host Michelle Bourque breaks down neural transfer, the brain science explaining why the skills you built in one chapter of your life (career, relationships, leadership) are already wired to carry you into the next one. Michelle shares what she's learned firsthand while relocating from New York to Florida after two decades in medical device sales, plus a powerful reframe from a mentor on why "I don't have management experience" is almost never actually true. You'll learn about far transfer, the brain's negativity bias, and the reticular activating system (RAS) — and why noticing synchronicities might be more science than woo. If you're in any kind of transition — career change, identity shift, new chapter — this episode will help you see the evidence you already have that you're ready.
