Why do emotional moments stay crystal clear, while ordinary days vanish?

Because your brain was built to remember what felt important.

In this episode, we explore why emotion supercharges memory. You’ll learn how the amygdala flags intense experiences for long-term storage, how stress hormones lock memories in place, and why your brain treats emotional events like survival-critical information.

This wiring helped our ancestors stay alive, but today it means breakups, arguments, and powerful moments get preserved in vivid detail, while routine days fade away.

Your memory isn’t selective by accident.

It’s emotional by design.

🧠 What you feel decides what you remember.
