123. A life update - healthy love, moving overseas, dealing with online criticism

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/4def7f2c-60c0-4b4a-9fc9-b0740036cc84/transcript

Uncertainty is the defining emotion of our 20s. Career paths, relationships, identity, purpose ... so much of this decade is marked by not knowing. Does that have to be as uncomfortable as we think it does? In today’s episode, we unpack the psychology of uncertainty: why our brains fear it, how it triggers anxiety and avoidance, and why trying to “figure it all out” might be doing more harm than good.

We explore:
The neuroscience behind our discomfort with the unknown
Why perfectionism is often a mask for our fear of uncertainty
The cultural myths that make us believe we need a step-by-step life plan
How to assign meaning to uncertainty and build resilience through it
Practical strategies to take action even when the future feels unclear

If you've never felt more confused than you do now, and are unsure 'what's next', this episode is for you.

I've heard from over 5'000 people, some of them 21, some of them 80 and I have combined all their responses to make the ultimate list of the 20 biggest mistakes people make in their 20s, for the people, by the people. 

From love, to career, to finances, going to college, friendship, taking risks: today we talk through the most common responses we received and what we can learn from these moments and regrets. Listen now!

The life of the highly sensitive person is often misunderstood. Highly sensitive aren't just people who cry too much or get overwhelmed, take things too personally: they actually take in so much of the world that it can be too much. They feel everything, from joy to sadness, so immediately and profoundly. They are also so in tune with the emotions of all those around them that sometimes it can be too much. Today we break down the psychology of the highly sensitive person, including: 
What are the core assessment criteria for identifying if you're highly sensitive?
What causes someone to be highly sensitive? 
The genetic, personality, parental and temperment contribution 
The link between sensitivity, IQ, EQ and creativity + the gentle superpower of sensitive people 
Do highly sensitive people have more empathy? 
The link between neurodivergence and sensitivity 
How to explain your sensitivity to others 
How to make the world work for your gentle, feeling soul, and so much more!

This episode is FULL of tips, research and studies. Listen now!
