#23 Conspiracy Theories: When Curiosity Turns Into Fear
It’s natural to be curious, but sometimes curiosity quietly turns into fear, fixation, or disconnection.

Samantha shares her personal interest in deep-diving into various topics like UFOs and extraterrestrials while addressing how easily curiosity can turn into obsession. She emphasizes the importance of emotional awareness, differentiating between feelings of expansion and contraction when exploring conspiratorial content. Samantha offers practical advice for maintaining a balance between curiosity and staying grounded, discusses the emotional magnetism of conspiracy theories, and addresses listener questions about dealing with loved ones affected by such theories.
