“You own your narratives, so you own your brain. It doesn’t own you.” ~ Kohila Sivas
The Power of Perspective: Kohila Sivas on Brain Ownership and Healing
What if your brain wasn’t your master, but your student? In this deeply moving and transformative episode of The Remarkable People Podcast, Kohila Sivas joins David Pasqualone to share her journey from a silent child struggling in a new country to a powerful advocate for mental sovereignty.
From Silence to Strength: A Journey of Survival
At just 12 years old, Kohila faced a darkness that led her to a suicide attempt. She opens up about the “seeds” planted in her mind by a difficult home life and the struggle to fit into a new culture. However, it was her survival that led to a paradigm shift: the realization that the brain can betray us with compelling lies, and that we have the power to write our own narrative.
Questioning the Narrative: How to Take Control of Your Mind
Kohila explains that we are often taught we have no control over our thoughts, but the truth is the opposite. By becoming “like a lawyer” and challenging every toxic or negative thought, we can reclaim our willpower.
