  • Ep 38. Why We Regret

    Why is regret such a powerful feeling? Does the regret of inaction sting more than action? These are inevitable questions that arise within the domain of regret. No human is immune from this. We have the capacity to reflect and judge whether our previous actions or inactions have been to our benefit.

    Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they discuss what they perceive is modern society’s relationship with regret. Expect to learn why reflection is different to rumination, how social comparison links to regret of inaction and how to transform regret into action.

  • Ep 37. What Is ‘Grass Is Greener’ Syndrome?

    What truly lies behind the notion that the “grass is greener on the other side?” Perhaps it is our dissatisfaction with our present situation or maybe it's a mechanism entrenched within us to always pursue a better situation. Irrespective, the feeling that things are better beyond our current situation can potentially delude us, but at times can also influence change in many of our life decisions. 

    Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they unpack the idea that the “grass is greener on the other side.” Expect to learn why leaving a relationship under this notion may be a poor choice, the signs of suffering from Grass Is Greener Syndrome, how evolutionary psychology proves this concept to be naturally innate, and where you should draw the line when assessing if the grass is truly greener on the other side.

  • Ep 36. How Entitlement Links to Social Comparison

    What does it mean to be entitled? The idea that you deserve something by sheer virtue of simply existing tends to fit the definition of entitlement nicely, however, there may be more to it. Feeling as though you deserve something without putting in the work can leave us feeling dissatisfied, erode our empathy and make us an unpleasant person to be around. 

    Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they discuss the dangers of entitlement. Expect to learn why social comparison fuels entitlement, how accepting the competitive nature of the world helps you achieve, and why having a ‘victim mindset’ is your worst enemy.

  • Ep 35. Those Who Stand For Nothing, Fall For Anything

    In life, there will be times where we either remain “bystanders” or actively stand up for the things that we believe in. The decision you take here is often guided by your own beliefs and values. But how do we know what is worth standing up for?

    Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they speak about the necessity of not burying one’s head in the sand when they witness atrocities. Expect to learn why we become more cynical with time, why individuals join political movements to be trendy and some of history’s biggest tragedies that continue to teach why we must stand up for things that we believe in!

  • Ep 33. How to Conquer FOMO

    “FOMO” - we’ve all felt it! The fear of missing out is all too common in our youth and it’s no surprise when we look at social media and see everyone’s highlight reels. It can fill us with anxiety and make us feel uneasy in the present moment...but it doesn’t have to.

    Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they share their outlook and experiences with FOMO. Expect to learn why FOMO is intrinsically linked with the need for social belonging, how companies use FOMO to get you buying their products and why planning something tangible for yourself can be crucial to combatting FOMO.

  • Ep 32. Your Self-Worth Is Not Tied to Your Achievements

    Do you feel like your self-worth depends on your achievements? Think about that time you got a bad mark on your test, got rejected from a job you wanted or missed an open goal and your team lost. Whilst these are times that can feel influential in how we view our levels of worth, they’re not necessarily true.

    Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they discuss the importance of detaching self-worth from external ambitions. Expect to learn why no one really cares about your external achievements at your funeral, why diversifying your interests are crucial and how integrity ultimately shapes one’s worth.

  • Ep 31. How to be More Self-Aware

    Living life on autopilot is not ideal nor is it something that we should strive for. Luckily self-awareness is the remedy that can ensure that we are intentional and conscious of the decisions we make. This means becoming conscious of our deepest thoughts, values and behaviours.

    Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they discuss the underrated value of being self-aware. Expect to learn why self-awareness is not the same thing as being self-conscious, why being self-aware can save your relationships and how speaking to those around you can help identify your true values.

  • Ep 30. How to Stop Catastrophizing

    Have you ever found yourself spiralling down a rabbit hole of catastrophizing? If you have, you are not alone. Catastrophizing can be exhausting as our minds run rampant pre-empting situations that most likely will never occur. Being in this state robs us of any rationality and logic. 

    Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they discuss some of the helpful strategies they have employed in managing their catastrophizing. Expect to learn why mindfulness can cultivate a sense of focus within us, how questioning your catastrophizing beliefs can make you feel calmer, and the importance of being aware of your catastrophizing tendencies.

  • Ep 29. Alcohol

    Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they give a balanced opinion on drinking in our most formative years. Expect to learn why going out for a drink can be the catalyst for men to be more vulnerable, why limiting your drinking may trigger your friends, and how to still be fun and outgoing without relying on alcohol.
