I'm a Nurse Who Got Curious About the Brain (This is why!)

Hi, I’m Johanna - nurse, mother, neuroscience nerd, and professional question-asker. This video is a hello and an introduction to YouTube's newest show: a quiet rebellion against burnout culture.

Welcome to Change of Mind, where I talk about how our brains actually work in real life. Not lab rats. Not optimisation bros. Not “just wake up at 4am” energy.

Here, we talk about:
Neuroscience you can use, not just admire
Mental health, motherhood, identity shifts, and nervous systems under pressure
Neuroplasticity, soft rewiring, and changing patterns without hating yourself first
What happens when healthcare experience meets lived experience
Thinking differently when life doesn’t slow down

I’ve spent nearly 2 decades in nursing and I’ve lived enough life to know that information alone doesn’t change people. Understanding does. Repetition does. Kindness helps too.

This channel and podcast are for:
Busy brains
Burnt-out carers
Curious humans
Neurodivergent thinkers
Anyone who feels like they’re “doing fine” but suspects there’s more ease available

If you’ve ever thought “I know better, so why do I keep doing this?” you’re in the right place.

New videos and podcast episodes will explore practical neuroscience, real stories, and small shifts that actually stick.

Subscribe if you want thoughtful conversations, evidence-based insight, and zero yelling. Well, maybe a little yelling.
