The Illusion Industry: When Social Media Sells You a Fake Life

The Story You Decided About Yourself Before You Were Five

Have you ever noticed a pattern in your life that you cannot seem to break no matter how hard you try? Relationships that repeat themselves. Beliefs about yourself that feel like facts. Choices that seem to lead you back to the same place again and again? In this video I want to share something deeply personal. A period in my life when I kept pushing good people away and had no idea I was doing it. And the moment of crisis that finally helped me see why. What I discovered changed everything. I had been living inside a story I had written about myself before I was five years old. A story that said I have to be strong and not need anyone. And until I found it, it had been quietly directing every friendship, every relationship and every connection I had ever tried to make. In this video we explore what life scripts are and where they come from. How they show up in our adult lives without us realising. How to begin finding your own script. And what it actually feels like to finally see it clearly. This is psychology made human. No jargon. No textbooks. Just honest storytelling and real insight you can carry into your everyday life. You cannot rewrite a story you do not know you are living. This video is your starting point.

Why You Sometimes React Like a Completely Different Person

Have you ever reacted to something in a way that completely surprised you? Felt emotions that seemed far too big for the moment? Or behaved in a way you barely recognised as yourself?   In this video I want to share something personal. A moment at work where I became emotional in a way I could not explain. The feeling underneath it was humiliation so deep I wanted to disappear entirely. And it took me years to truly understand why.   What I discovered changed the way I see myself, my relationships and the patterns I kept repeating without knowing why.   In this video we explore why our emotional reactions are not always coming from the adult in the room. How the younger parts of us carry memories, beliefs and survival strategies that still run our behaviour today. And what you can actually do to start understanding yourself at a much deeper level.   This is psychology made human. No jargon. No textbooks. Just honest storytelling and real insight you can use in your everyday life.   If you are on a personal development journey, working through therapy, or simply trying to understand why you do what you do, this video is for you.

The Illusion Industry: When Social Media Sells You a Fake Life

Social media sells us illusions—luxury, perfection, and curated success. But what happens when you’re pressured to fake a life you’re not living? In this heartfelt episode of Dear Heart with Remi, I share a personal story of being told to “pretend luxury” for attention—and what that moment revealed about truth, validation, and faith. Dear heart, authenticity may not trend fast, but it lasts. Let’s talk about choosing real over performed.

When the Mask Falls: Discernment, Trust & Red Flags

Not everyone who smiles at you has good intentions. In this raw, real episode of Dear Heart with Remi, I share a true story of misplaced trust, betrayal, and the powerful lessons that followed. We’ll explore the psychology of manipulation, the importance of boundaries, and the faith wisdom that reminds us: by their fruits, you will know them. Dear heart, not every open door is from God. Some are traps in disguise. Let’s talk discernment, trust, and wisdom.

Rich, Rich, Rich: Why Money Doesn’t Define Your Wisdom or Worth

We often confuse wealth with wisdom, money with taste, and status with worth. But the truth is, not having money yet doesn’t disqualify your intelligence, your ideas, or your value. In this episode of Dear Heart with Remi, we explore the psychology of status bias, the faith truth that God looks at the heart—not the wallet—and the reminder that your voice matters even before the provision comes. Dear heart, money may open doors, but wisdom builds the house.
