About your host

Isabella Grace

Hi, I’m Dr. Isabella Grace, a behavioral neuroscientist, mindset educator, and host of Speaking of This. What started as a “Wait, am I the problem?” moment became a mission, to give voice to the thoughts we bury, the truths we dodge, and the conversations no one else wants to have. Because no matter our age or stage, we’re all still trying to figure it out, and we are more connected than we realize.
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.
