Please send me an email (WBLCT@drjilltaylor.com) if you

Life is a lot like that Whack-a-Mole game these days. One societal issue pops up, and before we have time to process it, another major issue slams us.

How has it been for you to live your life knowing you have Four Characters inside of your brain? I’m curious about what you do to nourish each of your Four Characters, so you (and they) can stay mentally and emotionally healthy? I use the BRAIN Huddle multiple times every day to keep myself in

Easter just came and passed. I’m curious how you celebrated it, and what it meant to you? My father was an Episcopalian preacher man, so the rhythm of our family life revolved around the church calendar. My mother GG was known as the ‘hostess with the mostest’ because of the sheer volume of people who

I recognize my Character 2 as soon that part of my brain is triggered and comes online. Character 2 is an intense

Dr. Jill reintroduces us to an important part of ourselves, our brain and these innate Four Characters which we all possess, albeit undeveloped since we’ve been largely unaware of them! One of the things I really enjoyed about the book is the different scenarios mentioned that our Characters can encounter; Dr. Jill’s insights on how

With new surges and variants of the pandemic in full swing, many of us are feeling our anxiety levels at max capacity. Our fear, anxiety, and other emotional pains are skyrocketing. So much so that we don’t feel safe doing the simple things we were looking forward to doing again, like going to the store

Are you experiencing anxiety and fear that get in the way of you living life the way you want to? You are certainly not the only person who feels this way. In fact, from time to time, most of us do. One way to break out of the cycle of emotional reactivity is to use

I hope you are doing well. This is my first post, so I want to share with you why I wrote Whole Brain Living, what its power is, and why I want you to devour this material. I am a brain enthusiast. (I’m sure you have picked up on that by now.) But, beyond the
