Slower is Faster: The Neuroscience of Lasting Change | Michelle Baty

Book time with Michelle one-to-one and share feedback about this podcast What if slowing down is the secret to getting ahead? Michelle sits down with neuroscientist Michelle Baty to explore the powerful paradox of progress: Slower is Faster. In a world obsessed with speed and efficiency, Michelle Baty breaks down the neuroscience behind why real, lasting change comes not from pushing harder, but from being in the right neurological state. They dive into the two fundamental states of the nervous system—Protective vs. Connective—and how recognizing these states can help us break free from self-sabotage, build resilience, and finally make the changes that stick.
