Thank you so very much for listening! Each Wednesday is Soul School.

Have you ever noticed that one negative comment can stick with you for hours while many kind words can just bounce right off?

There’s nueroscientific studies confirming these sort of experiences we’ve all had. There’s some brain science we now understand behind why it happens too. Today, I talk about that and what to do about it to make our lives better.
