Isabella Grace

Hi, I’m Dr. Isabella Grace—behavioral neuroscientist, mindset educator, and host of Speaking of This, a podcast that digs deeper than the headlines.
This show was born out of a realization: we’re constantly bombarded with trending stories, viral moments, and loud opinions, but what we’re not getting is clarity. We’re not being encouraged to slow down, reflect, or question what’s really going on beneath the surface of these narratives—and that’s where I come in.
On Speaking of This, I take current headlines and flip them over to explore the psychological truths hiding underneath. With each episode, I break down popular stories—whether from pop culture, health, social issues, or everyday life—and examine the mindset, emotional triggers, and deeper meanings behind them. I pull from my background in psychology and behavioral neuroscience, but this isn’t a lecture. It’s a conversation. A moment to pause, reflect, and connect.
This podcast is for curious minds who want more than clickbait. It’s for people who crave substance, who believe that mental and emotional well-being starts with understanding the world around us and within us. You’ll find honest perspectives, engaging stories, and tools to help you think critically and feel deeply.
Whether you’re here for personal growth, psychological insight, or just a fresh take on the latest buzz—you’re in the right place.
Let’s rethink the headlines. Let’s speak of this.
