The Scone Made Me Do It - How One Tiny Thought Triggers Big Memories (Fun Brain Science Explained)

Have you ever had a smell, song, or taste instantly transport you back in time?

🍿🎶🍪 In this episode, Rozanne shares how one thought of a scone set off a memory avalanche — from Swiss Days to reconnecting with an old friend — and how brain science explains it. This is called spreading activation, and it’s the secret behind why popcorn = movies, cookies = grandma’s house, and one song = your entire high school dance.

You’ll learn:

✅ Why smells and tastes are the strongest memory triggers (hippocampus + amygdala explained)

✅ How spreading activation shapes your daily habits, moods, and decisions

✅ Practical brain hacks for studying, habit building, reconnection, and mood resets

✅ How to design your own cues instead of letting random triggers run your life
