Episode How to Strengthen Your Memory at Any Age with Brain Coach Jim Kwik

0:00 53:11

When you lose a word, forget why you walked into a room, or struggle to retain what you just read, it can be unsettling. It can also make you wonder whether your brain is beginning to change.

In this episode, Tamsen sits down with memory and learning expert Jim Kwik to explore what affects our ability to remember and why attention may be one of the most important parts of the equation. Jim, author of Limitless and the new book Limitless Daily: 366 Keys to Train Your Brain, Master Your Mind & Win Every Day, shares his journey from being labeled “the boy with the broken brain” to becoming one of the world’s best-known memory coaches—and offers practical ways to strengthen your focus, keep learning, and begin trusting your mind again.

They discuss:

- How attention determines what becomes a memory

- Why mental overload can make us feel more forgetful

- A 60-second grounding exercise to use when you feel scattered or anxious

- Simple techniques for remembering what you read

- How to keep challenging and training your brain as you age

- The small daily practices that build focus, memory, and self-trust
