Remembering You

Step into 2026 as we explore the timeless allure of "out with the old, in with the new." From ancient Mesopotamian vows and Japanese bell rituals to Scottish first-footings and Black Church Watch Night gatherings, discover how cultures worldwide have marked new beginnings with cleansing, reflection, and communal hope. Dive into the psychology of habits through the "Four P's of Cognition," backed b...

In this mind-bending (and heart-opening) episode, we dive headfirst into the delicious mysteries that make life so wonderfully weird: Jesus and aliens. Yes, really. From precognitive studies that suggest we know the future before it happens, to red birds carrying messages from lost loved ones, telepathic connections, and those persistent UFO sightings making headlines—we wrestle with the big quest...

Now that the work of studying Cognitive Development Theory (whew!) is finished, let's have some fun with perspectives! We open up about experiences that defy conventional explanation—moments of intuitive knowing, energetic connections, synchronicities, and what many might label "supernatural." From astral travel in a college dorm room and prophetic visions to feeling loved ones trans...

In this final episode of our Ego Development series, we dive deep into the fifth person perspective — where we poke our heads above the clouds into MetAware tier and awaken to awareness itself to see how our minds construct reality. Through metaphors like stepping outside a house you've built your entire life, analogies from learning to drive, and insights from spiritual teachers (Eckhart Toll...

Recently, Aliceanne sat down with her friend Kan Yan on his podcast Parents Reimagined. They talked about her relationship with her mother, and how it's changed since her death more than 15 years ago. Importantly, how she moved from rebellion and judgement to compassion, peace, and gratitude. If you're in the process of making sense of your relationship with your parents, please check out...

Let's unpack the wild, messy, and often misunderstood world of Fourth-Person Perspective! What does polyamory, cancel culture, and synchronicities have in common? What about the sudden realization that identity itself is fluid and co-created? We explore why this stage feels both liberating and disorienting, awe-inspiring and crazy-making - for both the people in 4th PP and those around them wh...

Welcome to the 3rd Person Perspective! This is the worldview that built the modern world and (depending on the study) where most of us reside, often quietly exhausting ourselves with an endless to-do list and the voice that says, "when I reach that goal, then I'll feel better". We explore the shift to a self-authored identity, where who you are is more about your own beliefs and achi...

In this second episode of our ego development series, we explore what it's like to move out of a 1st person perspective, and into the 2nd: the rule-oriented and conformist perspectives. We talk about how kids first discover empathy and shame, how adults organize identity around rules, roles, and group norms, and where loyalty becomes both social glue  and  a cage. We also unpack the “nice person”...

In this first installment of our Ego Development Series, we explore the earliest stage of human meaning-making: the impulsive, egocentric world of Stage One. This is the part of us that wants what it wants  right now —the toddler inside who hasn’t yet learned perspective, patience, or planning… but who carries our instinct, vitality, imagination, and raw life force. We trace how this stage forms i...

We all know we have emotions, but for many folks, telling the difference between a thought and a feeling can be tricky! We mentioned the Feelings Wheel as a great resource for building better discernment. https://feelingswheel.com (best viewed on a desktop or laptop screen). Website | www. RememberingYou.

What exactly is the ego—and why does everyone keep telling us to get rid of it? In this episode, we meet the part of us that wants to look good, stay safe, and maybe (just maybe) get invited onto Rupert Spira’s podcast. From Freud’s 1923 definition of the ego, to the modern-day midlife crisis, we explore how the ego tries to run the show… and what happens when it burns out. Along the way, you’ll h...

Aliceanne shares some thoughts with her LinkedIn community after a post she made announcing the Remembering You podcast launch - folks wondered what the title of the podcast means... why "Remembering You"? She talks about why movie The Matrix is a great pointer for why "waking up" feels like remembering something you've always known, but just temporarily forgotten. Read the original LinkedIn post...

Join us as we explore one of the most fundamental systems of the human psyche — the attachment system . Beginning with Ryan's raw honesty of his “bunker mode,” we trace how our earliest experiences of safety and connection become the internal compass that guides how we love, trust, and belong throughout life. Drawing on the work of John Bowlby and Dr. Dan Brown, the conversation travels from d...

Attention shapes everything — what we notice, how we feel, and who we become. Aliceanne and Ryan explore the attentional system — the inner mechanism that determines what we see and what we miss. They move from the everyday (“why am I mad at the mailbox?”) into the sacred: how attention, when trained, becomes a doorway to healing, intimacy, and awakening. Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, and...

Ryan and Aliceanne trace the winding, improbable path that brought them together — through grief, loss, and awakening. What began as a tender love story quickly became an initiation: one that shattered their old identities and opened them both to something larger than themselves. From first dates and bad eggplant parmesan to the mystical terrain of psychedelics, spiritual unraveling, and rediscove...

Ryan opens the pages of his life — from growing up in a large, homeschooled family shaped by evangelical faith, to the tender threads of love, loss, and rediscovery that have defined his path. He shares stories of childhood innocence and early spiritual wonder, the pressures of purity culture, and an arranged marriage that began as devotion but unraveled into heartbreak. Along the way, Ryan reveal...

Aliceanne shares the story of her life — from a fast birth in a snowstorm and a rebellious adolescence to her years as a mother, partner, psychologist, and seeker. Through love, loss, and awakening, she explores what it means to become whole again after profound fragmentation. This conversation is about the long journey of remembering who we are — and what we hold sacred when everything else falls...

This introductory episode explains the meaning behind Remembering You . Aliceanne (a psychologist) and Ryan (a hospice chaplain) describe a perspective of integration—linking psychology and contemplative wisdom, data and lived experience—so we can relate to the fullness of our human experience with more clarity and care. The show is an ongoing conversation about how we heal, grow, and belong. If y...
