In this episode of The Temple Bar Podcast, “Pretty Patterns,” we explore how the routines, habits, and social cycles we follow can be both comforting and hypnotic. From personal behaviours to cultural norms, we discuss why humans are drawn to familiar patterns — even when they hold us back — and what it really takes to wake up, break the spell, and create new ones that serve us better. Join us as we uncover the beauty and the trap of life’s pretty patterns.
