Episode 22: Want to Thrive? Intellectual Stimulation is One of the 6 Important Keys

If you want to thrive, you need intellectual stimulation. It’s not just the elderly who need to keep their brains active and alert!

In this episode, Kitty and I talk about what that means, and what you can do to ensure that you’re spending time doing interesting things and building those neural pathways in your healthy brain! (It’s not nearly as boring as it sounds.)
