Think your brain stores a perfect record of the what goes on in your life? Think again. In this episode, we break down how your brain can act more like a creative editor than an objective historian. From mis-remembered memories to cognitive biases that shape how you interpret the world, we’ll explore why you can’t always trust what you remember—or even what you think you know.

We’ll also dive into how anxiety tells convincing lies, how inner narratives can distort reality, and why some thoughts become self-fulfilling prophecies. By the end, you’ll walk away with practical ways to fact-check your own brain, challenge your assumptions, and build a clearer perspective.

Because sometimes the biggest trickster in your life isn’t other people—it’s your own mind.
