EPISODE 27 - Think Less To Think Better
In this episode, Soraya and Tracy are joined by Linda Jarnhamn, founder and CEO of Flow to Thrive, to explore what brain health means in everyday working life. Together, we look at why purpose, belonging, psychological safety and clarity matter to the way we think and perform; and what happens when constant demands leave little room to pause.
Linda shares what she has learned from working with organisations and leaders, including how small changes in a leader’s habits can affect a whole team. The conversation moves from recovery and the pressure to be constantly productive to a more useful question: are we creating the conditions for good thinking?
You’ll hear practical ideas for finding cognitive balance, making space for reflection and focusing your energy on what you can control. Tracy also shares how reading helped her step away from anxious thoughts during a difficult time for her family.
Perhaps Linda’s simplest invitation is the one we most need to hear: step away from the screen, let your brain be, and think less to think better.
