Priority Messages: The Podcast
Welcome to The Priority Messages Podcast, where each week, we tackle a "mental health adjacent" topic, sprinkle in a little science, add in a side of bad jokes and sarcasm, and serve it all up as food for thought. From discussions about breaking cycles of generational trauma and how to improve your emotional intelligence, to learning how your brain forms memories and how to master the art of forgiveness, our aim is to help you understand yourself - and why you might do some of the things you do - a little better. Consider it a little dose of therapy...without the co-pay.
Hosted by the creator of the Priority Messages YouTube channel, a new podcast episode is uploaded every Sunday. Make it a "priority" to join us every week and tune in!
Priority Messages: The Podcast
Episode 18: Fact Checking Your Memory - Ways Your Brain Can Trick You
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Think your brain stores a perfect record of the what goes on in your life? Think again. In this episode, we break down how your brain can act more like a creative editor than an objective historian. From mis-remembered memories to cognitive biases that shape how you interpret the world, we’ll explore why you can’t always trust what you remember—or even what you think you know.
We’ll also dive into how anxiety tells convincing lies, how inner narratives can distort reality, and why some thoughts become self-fulfilling prophecies. By the end, you’ll walk away with practical ways to fact-check your own brain, challenge your assumptions, and build a clearer perspective.
Because sometimes the biggest trickster in your life isn’t other people—it’s your own mind.
