The Brain Changing Power song is a tool to practice self-regulating big overwhelming feelings, like anxiety and frustration, and to learn to access our own Brain Changing Power to feel better.
It's a musical strategy to help us shift away from noticing the bad stuff, toward noticing the good stuff, and… to have FUN!
I was inspired to write this song by the children's book 'Sticky Brains' by Nicole Libin. Cam Marsollier, illustrated the 'Brain Changing Power' cover image as well as the Sticky Brains book.

For over two decades I’ve been faced with serious physical and mental health challenges. This experience led me to create songs as tools to help me cope with and move through overwhelming symptoms. I am thrilled to learn and to share that we do have Brain Changing Power (neuroplasticity) that can support our nervous system to cope, heal and thrive. It takes patience, discipline and repetition... and singing with actions makes it FUN.
