@mightypursuit: LINK IN BIO FOR FULL EPISODE What if the key to radically reclaiming your health… was the placebo? Probably the last thing you expected to hear but that’s exactly where this conversation begins. This week on the Mighty Pursuit Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Ellen Langer — Harvard psychologist, the first tenured woman in Harvard’s psych department, and one of the most cited scientists in her field. She’s widely recognized as the GOAT of mindfulness research —
not the meditation kind,
but a radically different approach:
active noticing, belief-driven biology, and the quiet power of agency. In this episode, we explore:
— How placebos actually work — and why they’re not fake at all
— How stress, illness, and recovery are shaped by perception
— The subtle ways we trap ourselves in prognosis-based identities
— What happens when we stop waiting for external permission to feel better This isn’t just a conversation about the mind. It’s a reframing of what’s possible — when the body starts listening to what the mind believes. 🎧 Full episode now available on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple.
