In this episode, episode of The Mindset Maniac, host Leslie Crevar discusses how to use storytelling to heal and process experiences in life.
Episode highlights:
- Storytelling integrates the left and right hemispheres of our brains. I.e.) Connecting the emotions/feelings with the logic/rational.
- We can use storytelling with children (and adults) to help balance our emotional reactions, thereby creating more emotional regulation.
- The way we tell stories can and will determine what we learn/takeaway from an experience and how we carry that through life.
Key Points:
- If we do not process an event or experience in a healthy way, we develop a narrative about ourselves or a particular experience that is untrue.
- Storytelling not only connects us with others, but also ourselves and our experiences.
- How we tell our stories matter, it ultimately shapes how we experience our life.

Why the emotional side of your brain takes over and how to integrate the logical side!
On this episode of The Mindset Maniac, host Leslie Crevar introduces part 1 of a 2 part series on how to integrate the left and right sides of our brain so we can use the logical side of the brain and the emotional side of the brain in harmony.
Episode Highlights:
- The left and right sides of our brain have VERY different functions and for good reason.
- Developmentally the right side (emotion driven) develops first and the left (logic/reasoning) develops later.
- If we are not careful we can unintentionally overdevelop either side of the brain and that's when we see individuals only operating from logic with zero emotion, or only operating from emotion with very little logic-- neither are ideal.
- With the Connect and Redirect method, Leslie teaches listeners how to integrate the left and right side of the brain so they can work together in harmony.
3 Key Points:
- Young kids work from the right side of the brain and we have to help support the development of the left side, que the 'why? why? why?' phase! This is a very important phase and helps them develop the left side of their brains!
- The worst thing we can do when someone is in an emotional state is to try and outreason them. They will never hear you.
- To help connect the left and right sides of the brain we must practice being able to call each one to the front during every interaction at the right time.
Tweetable Quotes:
- “We don't want to live in a hurricane of emotions OR a desert of emotions, we are looking for balance" - Leslie Crevar
