Being spontaneous and flexible, joyful and loving, kind and playful, and above all things, confident are traits people inherently have; it's our natural state, it's home. Yet things we hear or experience change that. To survive, we adapt, change, and transform our essence. Unfortunately, by the time we realize it, we'll probably be far from home.

In this episode, the brilliant Ruth Chiles joins us to discuss the importance of addressing deep-seated performance blocks and how to rewire our brain to its natural state of confidence and flow. Ruth has nearly three decades of experience working with leading-edge neuroplasticity and neurogenesis techniques.

She is the author of "The Focal Dystonia Cure" and "Free To Perform," where she explains what happens in our brains during the yips, writer's cramps, or any other performance block, and shares tools to deal with them and take our brains back to flow.

Throughout this episode, you'll hear about Ruth's experience with performance blocks, from playing music since she was 3 to being unable to play a single note when she was 18. Ruth also explains why performance blocks affect all of us, not only musicians and artists, shares her four-step framework to deal with them, explains how to use brain spotting to get our brains back on track, and much more.

Tune in to episode 446 and learn how to pick yourself up and get your brain back to its natural state, back to flow.
