Meet Dr. Cindy
The mom of 3 and NEUROSCIENTIST behind Curious Neuron
Welcome to our community!
About 7 years ago, I made the decision to step away from academia to focus on raising my children. That's when Curious Neuron was born. Originally conceived as a resource to assist parents in understanding their child’s emotional development, it quickly evolved into something much bigger.
I soon came to realize that for parents to truly support their children, they need to prioritize their own well-being. That realization led Curious Neuron to transform into a globally recognized platform dedicated to nurturing parental well-being.
Here at Curious Neuron, our mission is simple yet profound: to empower parents with empathetic reflection skills needed to cultivate emotional health and well-being in themselves and their families.
Every piece of content we produce is grounded in solid evidence. I firmly believe that arming parents with scientifically-backed knowledge is crucial in helping them navigate the beautiful yet challenging journey of parenthood.
Parenting can be overwhelming, and all too often, we find ourselves lacking the support and resources we need. That's where Curious Neuron steps in. We're here to fill that gap by providing a wealth of resources, from insightful articles on our website and engaging podcasts to daily inspiration on our social media channels. And if you're looking for a more immersive experience, our digital well-being journals, workshops and Community at Curious Neuron’s Reflection Academy are designed just for you. See you there!
