Meet Jaeden Schafer (EP.169)

In today’s episode, we meet Jaeden Schafer, the founder of SelfPause, an app that’s designed to help people shift their mindset by having them listen to positive affirmations. There’s quite a bit of neuroscience around the positive effects of hearing positive, motivating thoughts and through the app the thoughts are either generated by the app or can be recorded by the listener.  Our conversation is a wonderful exploration of the power of positive thinking, but not in a “Pollyanna” way but more in the way that this method can shift how you see the world. 

 

You can download the app in Apple’s app store and read more about it on selfpause.com
