Kalina Silverman, How to Have Better Conversations – Skip the Small Talk
In this episode of The IPS Podcast, we invited the founder of Big Talk, Kalina Silverman, to chat about how to have better conversations.
Happiness is a massive topic—and one we’re constantly chasing.
In this episode of the Inner Path Seekers podcast, we sit down with Dr. Rick Hanson, a leading psychologist and expert on positive neuroplasticity. He’s a New York Times bestselling author of six books, including Hardwiring Happiness and NeuroDharma, co-host of the Being Well Podcast, and has spoken at places like NASA, Oxford, Stanford, and Google.
Dr. Hanson’s message is simple but profound: “You can use your mind to change your brain to change your mind—for the better.”
This episode digs into the science behind how you can rewire your brain to be happy.
Thanks to neuroplasticity, we now know the brain constantly reshapes itself. With consistent practice, we can strengthen the pathways that support calm, resilience, gratitude, and joy—and weaken the ones tied to stress, fear, and self-criticism.
In this conversation, we explore why so many of us get stuck chasing happiness, how to rewire your brain to be happy, and the daily practices that genuinely make a difference.
If you’re ready to understand happiness from the inside out, this episode will guide you there.
Working on it!
