About Dr. Stacy Griffin
Dr. Stacy Griffin is a former TV producer and journalist, media psychologist, neuroscientist, and entrepreneur with experience in leadership and business strategy.
She is the creator and host of MEDIA Decoded – Minds Rewired, a podcast about how modern media shapes what we pay attention to, how we feel, and what we believe. Her work translates complex ideas from media psychology, neuroscience, and decision-making into clear, practical insight for everyday life.
Stacy’s perspective comes from both sides of the story: years inside newsrooms, where she learned how media is shaped before it ever reaches the audience, and years of study in psychology and neuroscience, where she came to understand how deeply that media can affect the brain and nervous system. She is especially interested in why certain stories, headlines, and feeds feel so powerful, and how people can respond with more awareness and intention.
Her approach is thoughtful, compassionate, and practical. She believes your brain is doing its best to adapt to a media environment that changed faster than our wiring. Rather than asking people to disconnect from the modern world, she offers research-informed tools that help you understand your reactions, reduce unhelpful patterns, and use media in ways that better support your body, relationships, and life.
Through her podcast, teaching, and writing, Stacy invites listeners and readers to think more clearly about the media they consume—and to feel more grounded in how they move through it.
