Unconscious

Education EN ↓ 15 episodes

Most of us are reacting before we're even aware of how we're showing up, and how we're treating ourselves & each other. Each week, Caryn and Morgan get curious about the unconscious patterns & snap judgments shaping how we move through the world. Whether it's headlines or stories from their own lives, the conversation always gets into the messy bits — and why everything feels so emotionally loaded. Think of it like an unfiltered voice memo from a friend who is done performing, done people-pleasing, and not willing to lose their joy to the noise. Just two friends trying to human better.

Episodes

Lewis Hamilton, Amanda's Non-Apology, and a United Airlines Call 01.07.2026

This week Morgan and Caryn kept landing on the same pattern from every direction: the assumptions we know what someone is from a single moment, and curiosity about our genuinely surprised when they don't fit in the box we've created. Can we hold people loosely enough to be wrong about them? And can we extend that same uncertainty to ourselves? In this episode: Lewis Hamilton winning his 10...

Stop Assuming and Lean Into Agreements 22.06.2026

This week Morgan and Caryn kept coming back to the same question: how many of the agreements running your daily life did you actually choose? What gets possible when you finally say the thing out loud, and what does it cost us to keep running on the ones nobody ever made explicit? In this episode: checking in before answering "how are you" and why something that sounds that simple feels...

Can We Let People Change? 11.06.2026

This week Morgan and Caryn kept running into the same tension everywhere they looked: we say we believe people can grow, but do we actually make room for it when it's happening right in front of us? And can we extend that same grace to ourselves? In this episode: The man who completely changed his political position once someone stopped attacking him and actually let him speak Why "I take...

Breaking Up With Old "Scripts" 22.05.2026

A billionaire CEO calls herself a “three-hour max mom” and the internet spirals. Morgan and Caryn use the conversation to explore the old scripts people inherit around family, ambition, rest, productivity, marriage, and identity and why so many of us feel trapped performing lives we didn’t consciously choose. What starts as a conversation about parenting quickly becomes something bigger: the press...

The Invisible Rules Keeping Us Divided 13.05.2026

This episode starts with Coachella and somehow ends with emotional intelligence, workplace agreements, judgment, golf culture, AI, and the invisible rules we all keep following without realizing it. Typical. Morgan and Caryn unpack the internet’s reaction to Justin Bieber at Coachella, influencers at The Masters, and why people get so emotionally attached to “respectability” and decorum. But under...

Being Right Is Getting in the Way 01.05.2026

We say we want to grow… but sometimes, we’re still terrified of being wrong. In this episode, we get into our relationship with mistakes. Why they feel so personal, why we react so strongly, and how much energy we spend trying to avoid them. What starts as a conversation about Formula 1 turns into something bigger. Psychological safety, leadership, team culture, parenting, and the ways we shut dow...

The Unconscious Patterns Behind Selling 22.04.2026

We went full business mode in this one. After a behind-the-scenes look at a workshop Caryn recently led, the conversation shifted into selling, Enneagram styles, and why the same pitch lands differently depending on who's making it. Why does selling feel effortless for some people and like pulling teeth for others? What's actually going on when you avoid naming a price, overdeliver without...

What We Watch and What It's Doing to Us 14.04.2026

We thought this would be a conversation about reality TV… but as always, it turned into something deeper. From The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills to The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives , The Bachelorette , Love Is Blind , and Dancing with the Stars , we unpack what we’ve been consuming and what we’re noticing in response. Why does content that used to feel entertaining now feel heavy? What is const...

The Case for a Joy Practice 03.04.2026

This week Morgan and Caryn are talking about joy, not as a concept, but as a practice. What fills you up when life is relentless and you're running on autopilot? They get into the Taylor Swift Eras documentary, a Ford commercial that made the rounds on International Women's Day, and a weekend of live theater. The conversation lands somewhere real: how presence and self-awareness connect, a...

How to Feel Human Again 24.03.2026

You're not imagining it. Something feels especially heavy right now. Morgan Sutton, Anna Caryn Mefford, and guest Noelle Mefford dig into the loneliness and news anxiety that most people seem to be ignoring. It's time to acknowledge the doom scrolling, the mental health toll it takes, and the emotional weight that just keeps building, and to find ways to feel a little bit better through al...

Triggered. Now What? 13.03.2026

It happens to all of us. The question is what we do next. In this episode, Morgan and Caryn get honest about their own gut reactions to the Olympic men's hockey locker room moment. The sadness, the little girl's feelings, the anger. All of it is valid. Your reactivity isn't something to fix. It's data. From there, they explore the space between your first reaction and your second t...

The Stories We Tell Ourselves: Self-Talk and the Inner Critic 06.03.2026

The way we speak to ourselves shapes more than we realize. And sometimes the loudest voice in the room is the one in our own head. In this episode, we explore self-talk, the inner critic, and the stories we tell ourselves about who we are and what we’re capable of. Caryn shares the impactful story of Olympic figure skater Alysa Liu, who recently chose joy over pressure and completely reframed her...

From 0 to 100: What Anger Is Actually Trying to Tell You 25.02.2026

Anger isn’t subtle. It’s fast. It’s hot. It’s rarely polite. In this episode, we sit with what happens when we react before we’ve had a chance to think. From Olympic interviews that feel unnecessarily sharp, to poolside chair politics, to reality TV spirals, to a very real dog fight that sent Caryn’s nervous system into overdrive, we explore how quickly we can lose our footing. Caryn shares a vuln...

Starting Something New (Without Quitting) 18.02.2026

We’re starting this show the only way that felt honest…by talking about being new. In this episode, we unpack the pressure to do things “right” and the quiet voice of “should” that follows us into everything from workouts to work to identity. Caryn shares the three questions she’s using to interrupt “should” thinking, and Morgan tells the story of when the benefit of a "beginner mindset"...

Introducing Unconscious with Morgan Sutton and A. Caryn Mefford 18.02.2026

Doing everything “right” is exhausting. So what if we stopped trying to get it right, and started paying attention to what it’s costing us? Hosted by Caryn and Morgan, Unconscious feels like listening in on two friends untangling inherited expectations, unconscious patterns, and snap judgments in real time. In our noisy, speed-addicted world, we don’t see people slowing down enough. So come chill...
