Innov8 & Educ8, Creative Bulletin News, Episode 37: Episode 37 “When Mind and Brain are Interconnected towards Conscious Lifelong learning!”

In this 37th episode, we dive deep into the fascinating connection between attention, memory, and consciousness. I had the privilege of chatting down with Patricia Sanz, a neuropsychologist and Gestalt therapist who specializes in the development and rehabilitation of executive functions.

Patricia shares her unique perspective on consciousness as a progressive practice—one that guides us toward greater metacognitive awareness.

Together, we explore the nuances of neurodivergent brains, their distinctive ways of learning, and how schools are becoming more open to recognizing and supporting these differences. Instead of forcing learners into traditional molds, Patricia emphasizes the importance of adapting teaching approaches to honor diverse ways of perceiving and understanding the world.

We also reflect on the power of emotional regulation.

Patricia beautifully explains how the amygdala can "hijack" us, leading to rumination and emotional overwhelm—and how reconnecting with body awareness can help us regain balance.

Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or simply curious about the mind, this episode offers valuable insights into self-awareness, emotional growth, and building more authentic connections with others.
