12 Minutes to a Better Brain: Neuroscientist Reveals the #1 Habit for Clarity & Focus

The Mel Robbins Podcast

Monday, 27 October 2025 - 1 hour 26 minutes

If you’re feeling tired, unfocused, and like your mind is being hijacked, today’s episode is for you. 

The world today is designed to steal your focus. 

In today’s episode, cognitive neuroscientist Dr. Amishi Jha joins Mel to deliver a wake-up call: 

Every scroll, every ping, every mindless click – these aren’t just distractions. They are rewiring your brain and reshaping your priorities. 

If you can’t control your attention, you can’t steer your life. 

But the good news? You can train your brain to pay attention again. 

Dr. Jha is one of the world’s leading experts on the science of attention. She’s worked with elite athletes, military special forces, and medical professionals under pressure – and what she’s discovered will change how you think about your mind. 

In this eye-opening and empowering conversation, you’ll learn: 

-Why your brain defaults to distraction 

-The three types of attention and how to strengthen each one 

-How just 12 minutes a day can change your mental performance 

-Why multitasking is a myth (and what to do instead)

Whether you feel chronically scattered, mentally drained, or just want to sharpen your edge, this episode will give you the tools and science to take your attention back. 

This isn’t just about focus. It’s about your ability to be present, perform better, and stay grounded in a chaotic world. 

Let’s train your brain.
