Lena: Hey everyone, welcome to this special BeFreed podcast where we're diving deep into the fascinating world of self-help and personal transformation-and Eli, I have to say, I'm genuinely excited about today's conversation because we're exploring some truly groundbreaking insights about how our brains work and how we can actually change them.
