About Podcast

MEDIA Decoded – Minds Rewired is a science‑based podcast about how modern media interacts with your brain, your emotions, and your daily life. Every day, you’re bombarded with stories, headlines, and feeds that quietly pull on your attention and nervous system, often in ways that are hard to name. This show helps you see what’s really happening under the surface—then teaches you how to rewire your habits so media serves your body, your relationships, and your future, instead of the other way around.

Hosted by Dr. Stacy Griffin, a media Psychologist, Neuroscientist, Entrepreneur with experience in private banking, and a former journalist. MEDIA Decoded – Minds Rewired offers weekly, research‑driven insights drawn from her work across these disciplines. Each episode builds on decades of scholarship in decision‑making and neuromarketing, and on how our brains process information, emotion, and persuasion in today’s convoluted media environment.

You’ll get clear, compassionate explanations of why your brain responds the way it does, without blame or shame—plus practical, science‑based tools you can use right away.

From there, you get concrete strategies, reflection prompts, and small experiments that help you scroll, watch, and share with more awareness. Decode your media. Rewire your brain.
