Hi:) I'm Maureen Kafkis, a Doctor of Occupational Therapy, the Brain BS™ Coach, and the host of The Brain BS™ Podcast. I worked for decades as an occupational therapist with individuals facing huge emotional, mental and physical challenges. I was a life coach long before I was certified as one.
Despite all of those years as an OT helping other people and appearing to have a life others may envy, I was still not able to shake an insidious dissatisfaction with my own life. I was so caught up in my own Brain BS™ that it robbed me of joy and peace of mind. It was not until after my father died that I decided to make my emotional and mental health the #1 priority in my life!
I was so tired of feeling irrelevant and invisible and beating myself up over age related changes. I was sick of worrying about what other people thought about me and people pleasing until I was up to my eyeballs in resentment. I felt disconnected from my loved ones and my relationships were suffering so much because of it. I was so afraid of making my needs a priority and that the best years of my life were behind me.
That all began to change when I picked up the book A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle. It started an amazing new chapter for me and I have never looked back. Now that I have figured out how to get out of my own way and create the life I always wanted, I want to teach other people how to do that too.
I want to show you how to challenge your Brain BS™, separate the fact from fiction in your mind, and help you to push through your discomfort and live your absolute best life. I want everybody to know that anything is possible if you choose to live consciously and believe in the power of community.
When I am not promoting community and collaboration or discussing all things Brain BS™, you can find me hanging out with my friends and family. I love exploring on my e-bike, hiking the trails, taking long walks with the pups, and playing pickleball with amazing individuals. I ❤️SB.
Life is going to offer us one challenge after another. Learning to live consciously and making our emotional and mental health a priority can significantly improve our quality of life. I believe doing that with other like-minded individuals in a collaborative way is how we all tap into our leadership energy and have a positive impact on our community and beyond.
