- 1524 || filling the "hole"
Maybe you don't need more things, you just need a thing.
What happens when the shit that surrounds us starts to feel like it’s weighing us down rather than free us? When it feels like more shit to deal with, rather than tools and resources, or sources of joy.

9 min - 1521 || why don't I remember my childhood?
You weren't absent, you were on high alert. Survival mode means. you can't make memories. Let's talk about ways to get out of survival mode, and why it's so important to do so with intention, regularly.

8 min - 1520 || shame, cringe, + the fear of being perceived.
Cringe is the ultimate vibe killer. Plus, when I fear being judged that's me writing your story for you, and that's not fair for either of you. Today we talk about the fear of being perceived and how I'm working around it.

9 min - 1517 || escaping the "skinner box"
NOTE: This is an old episode that never got published!!!! I decided to release it today before we move on to new topics.
Science confirms that facebook is a skinner box and we are just rats but we can be more conscious with our most valuable asset (our attention) and life will improve. we just have to be conscious we're a part of the experiment.

6 min - 1516 || revisiting the "skinner box"
Note: This is a revisitation of a past episode from 2023.
I used uptime.app to check out the brief spark notes version of
"Antisocial Media: Siva Vaidhyanathan's How Facebook Disconnects Us and Undermines Democracy"
(available here: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/antisocial-media-9780190841164?cc=us&lang=en&)
and he said: "Facebook is a modern day Skinner Box" which sent me down a rabbit hole to understand what that meant.
So today, I am sharing that with you!

7 min - 1515 || mixed emotions are worse than negative ones
Did you know that mixed emotions can be more emotionally taxing than purely negative ones? Today we talk about this + how to deal with it through things like “dialectical thinking," which is the attitude that opposite emotions are normal and compatible.
