About this listen

Memory isn’t what most people think it is.

In this episode of The Write Brain podcast, Ellis and her dad dive into how memory actually works — and why so many creative, right-brained people feel like they “don’t remember anything.”

We talk about:

The difference between right brain and left brain memory

Why some people remember feelings but not details

How trauma and stress affect memory

Why forgetting can actually be a strength

The connection between creativity, anxiety, and memory loss

Why most people who think they’re “losing their memory” actually aren’t

How memory relates to identity, learning disabilities, and ADHD

Practical ways to improve memory and protect your brain long-term

If you’ve ever felt embarrassed because you can’t remember names, dates, or events — but you can remember emotions, songs, or moments — this episode is for you.
