Beschrijving

In a world that demands us to be exceptional, perhaps the greatest rebellion is simply existing with compassions. This week on Between Hearts and Minds, we tackle the heavy weight of "lived absurdism." Why does life feel so random? Why do we panic about time running out? We dive into the difference between searching for meaning and choosing to create it in the small, human moments. If you're tired of the pressure to have it all figured out, pull up a chair-we're learning how to move gently through the uncertainity together.

Trauma and Choice

In this episode, I sit with a question I don’t have a clean answer to. If what we want is shaped by our nervous system, our past, and what once kept us safe, how free are our choices, really? This isn’t an episode about fixing your patterns or choosing “better.” It’s about slowing down long enough to notice where desire comes from, how trauma can feel like attraction, and why awareness doesn’t automatically change what we want. We talk about conditioning, post-hoc rationalization, dopamine, survival familiarity, and the uncomfortable idea that choice might not live in desire at all but in how we respond to it. This episode is an exploration, not a conclusion. A thinking-out-loud conversation for anyone who has ever wondered whether their instincts are intuition… or memory. No advice. No answers. Just space to think.
