“Work & Well-Being” – Dr. Ginny Estupinian, PhD, ABPP, examines the profound psychological and neurological relationship between humans and their labor. This category explores how work shapes—and is shaped by—our brains, emotions, and identities through:

  • The Neuroscience of Productivity: How focus, creativity, and decision-making are biologically driven (and drained)

  • Workplace Stress Anatomy: Cortisol’s impact on performance, and how to reset an overwhelmed nervous system

  • Purpose Neurochemistry: Why meaningful work triggers dopamine and oxytocin—and how to find it

  • The Future Brain: Adapting to remote work, AI collaboration, and career transitions without burnout

Dr. Estupinian decodes:
✔ The biological cost of hustle culture
✔ How to structure workdays around cognitive rhythms
✔ When job dissatisfaction signals a need for neurological change—not just a new role

For anyone who works (or seeks to), these insights reveal how to labor in ways that nourish—not deplete—your mental hardware.

(Includes career pivots, workplace trauma, and neurodiverse professional strengths.)
