I was listening to the podcast while cleaning the bathroom 😅
At first I thougt: sure, cleaning and listening should go well together. But the more Lisa told about the brain and what it is capable of while single-tasking, I changed my mind. You two convinced me! ❤
Thank you very much for your podcast. I already listened to a lot of them and you two are great!!

Ur channel is really usefull for me (as not a native english). Honestly, the title of your episode could be much more revealing of the content. I think if it considered, your channel could get more watch and more people would use the awsome content of channel.
