In this powerful premiere episode of Brain at Work, business psychologist Stacey Pitts Caldwell opens up about her decision to undergo a brain scan at the renowned Amen Clinics. Inspired after watching Dr. Daniel Amen on The Diary of a CEO, Stacey began to question how years of high-performance leadership, mounting stress, and the onset of perimenopause were affecting her brain health. With a deep commitment to personal insight and professional growth, she shares what led her to invest in a SPECT scan—a neuroimaging tool that maps brain function and blood flow.

Stacey walks listeners through the comprehensive assessment process, which examines biological, psychological, social, and spiritual factors that shape well-being. The episode dives into how brain function influences leadership effectiveness, decision-making, and productivity—especially for high-achieving professionals.

From addressing the price tag to exploring access and equity in mental health care, this episode sets the stage for a deeply personal and thought-provoking series. Whether you're a leader, coach, or simply brain-curious, Stacey’s journey challenges you to rethink what it really means to take care of your mind. EPISODE CREDITS:
