Kellie's Podcast
What if your choices are already made before your mind catches up?
Choice Beyond Logic dives into the hidden world of decision-making — where neuroscience, intuition, and body wisdom intersect. Each episode explores how our nervous system, unconscious signals, and deeper awareness guide the choices we think are rational. For anyone fascinated by why we do what we do, this podcast unpacks the unseen forces shaping our lives — long before logic has a say.

Choice Beyond Culture-Are Our Beliefs Really Our Own? Season 1 Episode 2
Do our deepest beliefs belong to us… or are they shaped by the world around us? In this episode, we uncover how Albert Bandura’s social learning model, Solomon Asch’s famous conformity studies, and Todd Rose’s science of individuality expose the delicate interplay between culture and authentic self. Listen in as we explore why some beliefs stick, which ones slide—and how you can gently reclaim the ones that are truly yours.
