167. 5 steps to build a life you love

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/ca1cd2d9-e8f7-4b00-b7b8-b10d002e90c6/transcript

Personal style might look like a surface-level thing, but it’s actually one of the most psychologically loaded choices we make every day. What we wear shapes how we’re perceived, how we feel, and sometimes even what parts of ourselves we give permission to show. In this episode, we’re unpacking the psychology of personal style - why we’re drawn to what we’re drawn to, what shapes our wardrobe, and how to find a style that actually feels like you.

We explore:

•        How upbringing and early experiences shape what feels safe, flattering, or off-limits
•        The role of the Big Five personality traits
•        Style as identity signalling
•        How clothes shift out mood
•        The role of trends and fast fashion in conformity
•        How to rediscover your personal style

If you’ve ever felt like your wardrobe doesn’t quite match who you are, this episode is for you.

When did ‘narcissist’ become the go-to explanation for every difficult person - and what do we lose when one word starts covering everything from basic selfishness to genuine psychological harm? In this bonus episode, we break down what psychologists actually mean by narcissism: where the term came from, what it truly means, and how the term has been adopted in our society. 

We explore:
•        Differences between Narcissistic Personality Disorder and narcissistic traits
•        The two main forms of narcissism
•        How has the term become overused?
•        The dangers of simplifying the term
•        Can narcissists ever change? Or is it all pretend?

It's my 26th birthday, and I'm in a reflective mood. As I pass the halfway point of my 20s (and this podcast), I'm looking back at some of the lessons I've learnt so far and what I hope I learn in the next four years.
