Meet Us

Nita and Josh are a unique mother-son combo who use brain science and other cool tools to help individuals and teams develop the mental habits of success. (They like to have fun while doing this, too. Taking people’s brains out is just another day in the life of these two hooligans…)  

Nita’s passion and wisdom is the spark that keeps everything going. Josh’s energy and peaceful nature brings it all together.

It’s a recipe that includes one part wisdom, two parts passion and fun; one part personal experience, two parts expertise and savvy. Mix it all together, and you have a sense of the soul of Learn Your Brain.

The Learn Your Brain Creed

(Click on each of our core beliefs to read more)

1) We all create our individual reality.
  • The story you tell about life controls your perception of the world.
  • When you change your story, you change your results.
  • Everyone is capable of creating new results, no matter how bad off they are now.
2) Everybody does the best they can given what they know.
  • Most people are inherently good and want to do their best, they sometimes just don’t know how.
  • Success isn’t about making big changes, it’s about making small changes that give big results.
  • When you understand the brain and the root causes of human behavior, change becomes a lot easier.
3) The purpose of life is joy.
  • Learning to enjoy the journey is more important than reaching goals.
  • Being happy leads to greater levels of creativity and productivity.
  • Passion and joy are the drivers of authentic success.
4) Life is always getting better and better.
  • Everyone has an innate desire for expansion–to be better, do more, have more, etc.
  • In spite of what you hear on the news, the world is abundant and beautiful, and getting better all the time. And there are always many more things going well than going wrong.
  • There’s a solution for every problem–no matter how dire the situation, there’s a solution.
5) Nurturing mind, body, and spirit is the way to reach your potential.
  • All three things–mind, body, spirit–are interconnected and influence each other.
  • We’re spiritual beings on a physical journey.
  • Self-appreciation and owning your uniqueness is the surest way to create authentic success.
