I remember my one friend was would write affirmations and I just thought.

that was, I don't know.

I didn't think anything of it.

I was just like, Oh, affirmations.

That's interesting.

Like, I didn't think they worked.

I didn't understand them.

But then once I understood sort of the neuroscience behind these things, like, Oh, Hey, maybe this.

And then I actually remember, you know, as I started to study these different spiritual things, um,

like solfeggio frequencies came up.

And that's a very popular thing in the spiritual spaces, which are just different frequencies of music, like 528 hertz, 432.

And I started listening to 432 to sleep because they've shown in studies that it actually can help with sleep.

And...

I remember lying in bed one night and I was like, maybe these frequencies actually do change the state of your brain and that's why they work.

And literally, I sat up in bed, went over to my phone, went on to Google to look for research papers, found them, that they already existed.

I was like, oh, hey, maybe the spirituality thing isn't so crazy.

Maybe they're actually...

maybe there's actually something to this.

And so I think in the beginning for me, it was very much seeing how neuroscience very much explained a lot of the things that my friends and people in books and on YouTube videos were talking about and in your podcast were talking about.

And I was like, oh, hey, like and I, you know, neuroscience to me was something I was already studying.
