Ever feel stuck in your own head—like you want to heal, but you don’t know how to move forward?
In this episode, Allie Marie Smith sits down with Dr. Lee Warren (neurosurgeon + author) for a hope-filled conversation about the power of your thoughts—and what he calls “self-brain surgery.” After walking through deep trauma, loss, and grief, Dr. Warren shares how healing often starts by changing what we believe, repeat, and rehearse in our minds.
Together, they break down the neuroscience behind how thoughts shape your emotions, your choices, and even the structure of your brain. You’ll also hear practical encouragement on gratitude, purpose in pain, and why you’re not defined by your past, your diagnosis, or your hardest season.
If you’ve been needing a reset, a mindset shift, or just a reminder that hope is still possible, this one’s for you.
