Dr. Maya Shankar

It seemed very crazy, but I felt so desperate that I felt it was the quickest, easiest way out.

No, I didn't want to manifest that.

I was trying to manifest success.

I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and host of the podcast, A Slight Change of Plans, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans.

We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of turbulence and transformation.

We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes.
