How Neuroplasticity Can Change Your Brain at Any Age, with Tara Bonner of Arrowsmith Program

How Neuroplasticity Can Change Your Brain at Any Age, with Tara Bonner of Arrowsmith Program

What if the brain you have today is not the brain you are stuck with? In this episode, I sit down with Tara Bonner, Chief Neuroeducation Officer at the Arrowsmith Program, to talk about neuroplasticity and the brain’s capacity to change throughout our lives. We unpack why confidence follows competence, not encouragement, how attention has become increasingly fragile in modern life, and the difference between chronic distraction and true ADHD. We also talk about learning disabilities, cognitive profiles, and why focusing less on labels and more on how the brain functions can change outcomes for both children and adults. If you are curious about how your brain works, how to strengthen it, and how to protect your thinking in an AI-driven world, this conversation is well worth your attention.
