Your Brain's Algorithm: Why Your Brain Works Like Social Media


Listen Later

In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into one of the internet’s most debated mysteries: the algorithm — but with a twist. Sure, we’ll touch on how social media platforms use algorithms to serve you content, but we’ll also explore how your brain functions in a strikingly similar way.

We’ll talk about how neural pathways are built, how trauma can fast-track thought loops, and most importantly, how you can rewire those loops. Using personal stories, including a powerful wake-up call from a blunt but beloved friend, I share how I started to take back control of my own mental "algorithm."

By the end of this episode, you’ll understand:

  • ​What algorithms are and how they work (online and in your mind)
  • ​Why your brain keeps serving you thoughts you don’t want
  • ​How repetition and emotional impact build your thought patterns
  • ​Why choosing different thoughts can actually change how you feel
