Ep 12: How My Brain Got Tricked Into Wanting a $900 Vacuum Cleaner
Ever wondered how much of what you believe is actually yours—and how much has just been downloaded into your brain from parents, experts, friends, and those sneaky-as-hell internet algorithms?
In this episode, I take you on a deep (and hilarious) dive into the world of beliefs—where they come from, how they get hardwired into our brains, and why our Reticular Activating System (a.k.a. the brain’s ultimate hype-man) is constantly looking for proof that we’re right, even when we’re dead wrong.
From my personal (and slightly disastrous) journey with anxiety meds to that time my mum had an I told you so moment about prescription drugs, we’re covering all the ways we trust the wrong people, buy into the wrong narratives, and sometimes—just sometimes—let the internet convince us we desperately need a vacuum cleaner with headlights.
🔹 Why doctors aren’t always right (but neither is your mate Karen from Facebook)
🔹 How our brains love to make us believe whatever is easiest
🔹 Why Google’s algorithms are basically brainwashing us into thinking we need new shit
🔹 How to question everything and take back control of what actually shapes your life
This one’s for the deep thinkers, the questioners, and anyone who’s ever had their mind hijacked by a well-placed Instagram ad.
