Description

Think you consciously make your decisions?

Your brain already decided, seconds ago.


In this episode, we uncover the strange way decisions really happen. You’ll learn how your unconscious mind makes choices before you’re aware of them, why your “rational” brain often acts more like a spokesperson than a decision-maker, and how emotions, habits, and subtle environmental cues quietly steer your behavior.


That gut feeling? It’s not magic. It’s rapid, unconscious processing doing the heavy lifting, while your conscious mind rushes in afterward to explain it.


You’re not broken.

You’re just less in control than you think.


🧠 Awareness doesn’t start decisions, it explains them.
