Are We Just Our Brains? Exploring Consciousness, Mind and Human Identity with Dr. Sharon Dirckx

In this episode of the IJK Podcast, Imad Jack Karam is joined by Dr. Sharon Dirckx, a neuroscientist, speaker and author of the fascinating book “Am I Just My Brain?”, to explore one of the most profound questions of our time:

What is Consciousness and Are We Really Just Our Brains?

Dr. Sharon holds a PhD in brain imaging from the University of Cambridge and speaks widely across the UK and internationally on the intersection of science, faith, and the human experience.

She has appeared on several BBC programmes in the UK including Radio 2 - Good Morning Sunday, and Radio 4 -Beyond Belief, and has also written for The Times newspaper.

Sharon also works in partnership with organisations such as OCCA - The Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics, where she is an adjunct lecturer, and her work is dedicated to addressing the big spiritual and philosophical questions people ask today.

In this video, we explore the science of the brain, the mystery of consciousness and whether the mind points to something more than matter.

Why Trying to Sleep Fails and What Actually Works.
In this episode of the IJK Podcast, host Imad Jack Karam welcomes Dr. Daniel Erichsen, a leading sleep coach and author who has helped thousands of people around the world break free from chronic insomnia — not by trying harder, but by letting go.

Daniel began his career as a sleep physician, but over time realized that many traditional treatments — sleep hygiene rules, rigid routines, even medications — often failed to address the real problem: the anxiety and effort surrounding sleep itself. That realization led him to become a sleep coach and to develop a radically different approach.

He’s the author of two transformative books, Set It and Forget It and This is Natto, both of which offer practical tools and powerful mindset shifts for those struggling with insomnia. He also runs The Sleep Coach School, a global online platform guiding people away from sleep anxiety and toward peace, trust, and freedom.

In this conversation, we explore:

-Why trying to sleep often makes things worse
-How fear and control fuel chronic insomnia
-What it really means to “befriend wakefulness”
-How to adopt the NATTO mindset: Not Attached To The Outcome

If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of sleepless nights, this episode may just change the way you think about sleep forever.
