Does your ego get in the way of your relationships? Or your career? Or maybe you know someone that is egotistical and they really piss you off!

Do you get confused as to which foods are healthy to buy and which aren’t? It’s easy to be misled as marketing and branding does an incredible job of doing all the thinking for us.

Do you know much about word psychology? Often with our primary language, using it is so automated that we give little thought to the choice of words and how that impacts our day to day reality.

In this episode I give you a handful of examples of poor word psy...

That’s right, your drug of choice doesn’t have to be a drug at all but what that entire list does is triggers dopamine to be released in your brain, the pleasure seeking neurotransmitter and that little gremlin is responsible for always wanting more than we know is good for us. So on...
