About The Blog
The Mind Unfiltered is a blog that explores how the brain works and how that affects the way we think, feel, and act. It was created for teens and young adults who want to better understand themselves, improve their habits, and take care of their mental health.
Each evidence-based post explores one of my personal interests and applies it to teenagers and everyday life.
If you have ever wondered why your brain does what it does, you should check out my blog!! I would appreciate any feedback or suggestions :)
What readers are saying
“Aaira, this is so important. We say “I’m fine” when we’re not. And the emotions just sit there inside us. Your post on suppression vs. healthy regulation is perfect. One is hiding. The other is feeling and letting it move through you. Thank you for this. For giving us permission to stop pretending.”
