8. "Have You Done A Tech Detox Yet? Do We Have Free Will/Choice?"
This week things get a bit interesting as Nina & Brian go down the rabbit hole of a very perplexing question...do we have free will/choice or is everything predetermined for us? They explore metaphysical, scientific, historical & societal viewpoints on this question in hopes of spurring some deep thoughts from their audience.

THE QUESTION OF FREE WILL VERSUS PREDESTINATION:
Do you ever wonder if we have free choice or will? Or is everything predetermined or destiny?
Last week Brian and I were in the living room working on our computers in the evening and he randomly asks me this question: I did have a response…..
My response was: if we aren’t being true to ourselves and are acting out of fear, judgement, confusion or pure laziness then i believe the universe intervenes in dramatic ways and you can’t explain why and it forces you down another path or another door meant for you. This is why I actively work on myself for myself. I try to be so self aware, and I question my own intentions, actions and beliefs and emotions that bubble up sometimes bc i never want to be forced by the universe I always want to be aligned with my heart and luxuriously create my world.
But, I think we were both left with some open ended questions well after my answer so i decided to make it a topic in hopes of our audience helping us out too. Bc I don't know even know is this a scientific question or spiritual question or a psychological question?
One of the oldest questions aside from where did we come from? How did the earth appear, is do us humans have free will and choice? Meaning, are we able to choose what we will do with our lives?
Our choices feel free don’t they? I chose to have a protein shake after my workout? I chose to eat an apple after instead of nachos? I chose to record this episode today? Listen to this episode to learn what we concluded.

Quote: "Humans are powerless, and even in our exercise of free will, either the universe is going to get down with your plan or it isn’t."
