Brain Talk: When Your Mind Takes the Lead

“Speak the Truth.” Your brain is constantly trying to communicate with you—but are you listening? In this compelling exploration of the mind-body connection, we dive deep into the profound difference between the inner voice that creates unhelpful self-talk and the transformative power of what I call "brain talk."
 
 Most of us are familiar with that inner dialogue that cycles through our minds, reflecting environmental influences and past experiences. It manifests as thoughts like "I should have done this" or "I should have done that." But there's a deeper level of processing available when we allow our brain to truly lead our body instead of reacting impulsively to emotional triggers.
 
 Brain talk emerges when we accept the contact between our brain, body, and sense messaging systems—especially when working through uncomfortable feelings of hurt, pain, and sadness. Rather than avoiding these sensations, true growth comes from processing negative energy before reacting. The difference becomes visible to others; they notice something has changed because you're responding thoughtfully rather than reacting emotionally.
 
 This approach has powerful applications in every aspect of life, from improving relationships to transforming professional dissatisfaction. Many remain stuck in unfulfilling jobs because they fear the unknown alternatives. The programmed response says, "At least I have a paycheck," while brain talk encourages deeper processing that reveals new opportunities. Whether through entrepreneurship or reimagining your professional identity, it starts with accepting challenges rather than avoiding them.

Introduction to Brain's Body Podcast

Speaker 1 0:00

Welcome to Doc Slade and I.

Speaker 1 0:02

The Brain's Body, brain talk, real talk. Keeping things real is very important. Why? Because we're talking about the brain and how the brain talks back. So when you tune in, remember what we're talking about. We're talking about your inner voice Backward, you know that I call the sense of self. And then we're talking about self-talk. That talk just baffles you because it hangs inside your head and it just baffles you because you want to say something but you don't. And then we're talking about brain talk. And brain talk is the most critical aspect of the brain's body, because when the brain talks back, it is supposedly irrational, so that self-talk is fed forward because you made a decision.

Speaker 1 0:55

I'm going to respond to your inner voice. The inner voice is what's happening to you in the environment Home, school, neighborhood, workplace, networks. It's like family, education, government and business systems that affect you. I should have done this, I should have done that. And your brain's trying to communicate with you. But do you want to listen? No, you don't want to listen. Or you do want to listen, but some of us get afraid. I know I was afraid when my brain first started talking to listen. But some of us get afraid. I know I was afraid when my brain first started talking to me, but then I began to realize from the responses that I was receiving externally wow, I got to listen to me more often, I got to believe in me more often, I got a sense to feel myself thinking internally. So that feel for self is very, very critical that I talk about. So I'm talking about the brain's body. Brain talk we all have it. But it's not called brain talk if it's introspection. It's not called brain talk if it's just your inner voice feeding you states of mind that are frozen in time because of negative experiences that you refuse to reprocess.

Understanding Inner Voice vs. Brain Talk

Speaker 1 2:12

Brain talk, brain talk, is the brain's ability to respond. Because you've done three things. First, you've accepted the contact between your brain, body and sense messaging systems and when you accept the contact, you're interacting through the feelings of hurt, pain and sadness. And then you're cooperating, and when you cooperate, the brain is in the lead of the body. Why? Because your sense of feel for self is working through your brain talk and you're allowing yourself to make more sense. Now you don't have to be at the level of someone else, but you are at a level of appreciation. When real thought happens, real talk happens. Real talk happens, brain talk is happening Because, externally, the people that you're interacting with you look them in their eyes and you can see something's different, because you are not the same person when you allow the brain to take the lead of the body.

Speaker 1 3:17

That's what we're talking about. We're talking about moving to the crisis itself. We're talking about what happened. We're talking about how do you recover from a low self-concept, how do you recover from living in a state of fear because your inner voice is damaging your sense of feel, because you're afraid of what's happening? Well, respond. And you don't respond abstractly. You respond with your brain leading the body. That means your body is not a reaction. It's a response to the internal matrices of brain-body-sense messaging coming together as a process loop. And now you're communicating more effectively because your brain is behind you and so your body is now prepared to respond, because the brain is talking back Don't feel it, explore it and talk to me about it because it's real.

Speaker 1 4:20

And so brain talk from the brain's body and doxylate line is explaining one of the greatest problems you confront in the crisis self, the sense and receive path. The sense, path, the external world coming into your sense of feel and you can ignore it or you can accept it and move through it. They began to revitalize your mastery over who and what. You're becoming Not a program state, because that program state is what I'm trying to get you to get out of. The program state is when you train yourself because of the. You train yourself not to be afraid. You train yourself not to listen to that external stuff. People are trying to tell you because you're afraid of change, because change means you got to move to the unknown, because someone else is telling you change you. And you're saying well, here you go. That's that what Self-talk? Just all around inside your head, instead of letting your brain process that, and on that forward feed comes back and it's says okay, that was or was not real information flow. And you're absolutely right, we're talking about self-talk.

How Brain Talk Works Through Feeling

Speaker 1 5:39

But self-talk and brain talk means it becomes social and academic meaning. You can comprehend it Now, social and academic can be in any language in the world, but we know academics is the cash language. Whatever that language is cash language. And then the social aspect is the environmental influences that you must move through. And that's what brain talk is saying when you respond, you're responding environmentally. So if you have a conflict with your wife, your son, your daughter, anyone. You're responding to a sense of feel for self in relation to them and the environment. It's all covered because the brain is a social organ and when it responds, it responds to the neurophysicist self and that external response is social.

Speaker 1 6:31

You want them to understand what you're saying, when you say it, and you're doing it through signs of care, because a sense of fear means you accept responsibility. Now, wait a minute, price yourself. You don't understand the consequences or the responsibility that you have to accept negative energy and process it before you react. I've got all garbled up, because this is the critical part about being in crises and not allowing your brain to take a lead when you know you're about to lose it, but instead you lose it and now you're trying to recover. I ain't going to do that no more. That's the last time I'm going to let that happen. I will not let that happen to me again and it happens again. Why? Because you didn't process what you just now said. Processing it means sit it through your received path, understanding. You've got to cooperate and accept that pain, hurt and sadness that you're trying to camouflage behind. Okay, I ain't going to do this again when you are, but when you really accept the consequences. You know that hurt. I lost a lot of money. I can't let that happen again. What am I going to do about it?

Speaker 1 7:44

Now, the brain's in the lead Now. Are you listening? We back to that. Are you listening? Can you hear me See your senses feel? Can you feel me? You see, can you feel me? Can you hear me? Can you help me?

Speaker 1 7:57

This is the brain's body. And what are we talking about? The physical, mental, emotional sides of you. But it's logical. That's what brain talk is. So don't be afraid of what I'm saying to you, dr Slayton, the brain talker. All I'm saying is we talk about the brain and you test what I'm saying as you listen, have a sense and receive path. The sense path is the external body. The receive path is the internal brain's body. Now, look at yourself. What are you? You are internal brain's body. Now, look at yourself. What are you? You are a brain's body.

Processing Crisis Instead of Reacting

Speaker 1 8:34

Now, when you're not a brain's body, when your body's in the lead of the brain, you don't care. You hurt people, you do things that are stupid to other people, that are good to you, because you're okay with being ugly. When the brain's in the lead of the body, you can be ugly, but nobody will know it because it's calculated, and when you don't care, you don't care. You don't care, you don't care. When you care, you feel and see people get a twist. They think the feel is soft. No, the feel is not soft. That means you want the brain to process what you feel and send you a calculated response that protects the brain and the body.

Speaker 1 9:16

Okay, so what am I talking about? I'm talking about discipline. I'm talking about self-control. I'm talking about focus. I'm talking about understanding what the Brain's Body podcast is really talking through Brain talk. Can you feel me? Can you hear me? Can you talk back to me? Subscribe, no, no, I'm not. Wait a minute. You see what I'm talking about. Do you feel what I'm saying? See, I can stop right there and ask you a question. Are you listening?

Speaker 1 9:46

Have you ever been inside a job and the job began to wear on you and you were sitting there wondering why don't I like my job? But perhaps because your job does not allow you to mature into a creator, self-vested creator, which means you embrace the job, move through the job to a level of functionality that requires a higher level of pay and you can't see that happening. And so you're still in that job because it's a program. You won't leave the job because you're afraid that's. All you have is that job. And you can't process that experience because on the other side is the unknown and you're saying wait a minute, I don't want to hear that. I got a check coming in. I don't want to be without a check. But there's a theory behind what you're experiencing and the theory is accept the problem. Yes, I really hate my job, but this is what I'm doing about it.

Brain as a Social Organ

Speaker 1 10:52

Self-talk, this is what I'm doing about it. I'm beginning to realize that there's opportunities on the other side. If I could just figure out how to reset what I'm doing inside my job and understand how the broader environment needs that labor delivered a certain way, the way I deliver it, because I'm good at what I do and there's a market for what I do. What am I talking about? Entrepreneurship? What I'm talking about? The recreation of self. Now, inside the recreation of self, you don't have to go nowhere, but in the process of formulating, you're preparing yourself to leave the job. Now it's real talk, it's brain talk, because it's got to be rational and your feedback has to be coming back to you, constantly saying to you we're making better decisions, we don't feel as bad, we are not as angry, we don't just be sad because at the end of the day, because when we leave the job, we are looking at other alternatives, opportunities.

Speaker 1 11:56

People laugh at people to say I'm going to be an entrepreneur. But everybody God created is supposed to be structured that way to want better, to want to create their own opportunity beyond a program, to process the experience of the program, the millionaire. Don't talk to one of them. They had to process that negative energy to get where they got, wherever that is. But they're better than they would have been had they not accepted the consequences of that program. They began to work their way through it and in working their way through it you learn about the other opportunities that are available to you. Or and began to work their way through it, and in working their way through it you learn about the other opportunities that are available to you. Or they began to recognize there's something different about her or him. Let me tune in. I hate to lose that labor. Look at the return on the investment I'm getting.

Speaker 1 12:44

Because you're not angry, you're not flaunting your negative energy. You are preserving and moving through the experience of self-hurt, pain and sadness, and you can see a future because your brain is in the lead and you're trusting your brain. You're not afraid of it. Brain talk, you're not afraid of it. Self-talk, you're not afraid of it, your inner voice. You're beginning to understand your human system and how it really functions. So, where you used to react, when the inner voice is coming, because it's carrying that negative energy that you experience constantly on the ground and your brain is sitting there, self-talk, self-talk, internal talk, okay, introspection, you know all inside your head and then you begin to process that and what comes out is brain talk, because what's talking? Your sense of feel for self and the brain and the lead of the body. And how do you know it? Because you are now understanding control and management of self.
