EXPANDED Podcast by To Be Magnetic™ Ep. 266 - How To Break Low Self-Worth Habits with Nicole Neuroscience
Reinforce New Neural Pathways
- Use repetition with positive or neutral associations to reinforce new neural pathways.
- Avoid forcing positivity; acknowledge current feelings before reframing them.
Calm Nervous System with Sighs
- Use the physiological sigh (double inhale with long exhale) to quickly calm your nervous system.
- This micro step creates space to separate triggers from responses.
Dopamine Warps Time Perception
- Dopamine distorts time perception, making hours feel like minutes during reward-seeking.
- After a dopamine high, the brain craves more to reset the balance, often causing addictive cycles.
Look, it’s not you. It’s your brain. Seriously! Breaking a low self-worth habit isn’t as easy as deciding to stop. Because behind the scenes of everyday life, your brain and its symphony of neurons are actually running the show. So what would happen if you decided to work with your brain instead of against it? That’s what today’s episode is all about with Nicole Vignola, or as many might know her – @nicolesneuroscience on IG. Today, she and Jessica nerd out on the neuroscience of some pretty juicy (and highly requested) topics – burnout, building a routine, procrastinating the TBM work, how overcoming adversity is good for your brain, and so. much. more. Learn the simple magic of a big, long *sigh*, how to recover from doom scrolling, and why you should embrace boredom (your brain likes it). This is the magic-meets-science conversation that is basically every TBMer’s dream convo. Get ready for actionable, easy wisdom that actually changes your day.

The Expanded Podcast, from To Be Magnetic™ (TBM), is the leading manifestation podcast rooted in neuroscience, psychology, and energetics. Hosted by TBM’s Chief Content Officer Jessica Gill, with monthly appearances from founder Lacy Phillips, Expanded is where science and the mystical meet to help you manifest in the most grounded, practical, and life-changing way.
At TBM, we’ve redefined manifestation through Neural Manifestation™—our proven, science-backed method developed with neuroscientist Dr. Tara Swart. This process helps you reprogram limiting beliefs at the subconscious level so you can create the life most aligned with your authenticity.
Each week, we take you inside the TBM practice to help you expand your subconscious to believe what you desire is possible. Through expert interviews, thought leader conversations, TBM teachings, and real member success stories, you’ll learn how to:
– Rewire your subconscious mind and step into your worth
– Heal your inner child and integrate shadow work
– Set boundaries, strengthen intuition, and reclaim self-worth
– Manifest relationships, careers, abundance, and experiences that align with your true self
With over than 40 million downloads and a global community in over 100 countries, Expanded has become the gold standard in manifestation content. Think of it as your weekly practice for expanding your mind, believing what you want is possible, and manifesting the life you’re meant to live.
Past guests include leading voices such as Mel Robbins, Lewis Howes, Jenna Zoe, Martha Beck, Dr. Joe Dispenza, Dr. Gabor Maté, Mark Groves, and Brianna Wiest.
