About this episode

This is Perfect Days — a morning podcast built around ideas worth carrying with you. Today we turn inward: into the science of inner speech and why talking to yourself is one of the most human things you do; into the psychology of chatter and why the inner voice turns cruel; into the neuroscience of expectation and how our past silently writes our present; and into a raw, bittersweet audio essay about the places and people that quietly hold the best pieces of us. 🧠 IS IT NORMAL TO TALK TO YOURSELF? 💬 WHAT TO DO IF YOUR INNER VOICE IS CRUEL — ETHAN KROSS 🔮 HOW OUR EXPECTATIONS SHAPE WHAT WE SEE, HEAR, AND FEEL 💛 TO THE PEOPLE AND PLACES THAT HAVE MY HEART — BRI ANORA MUSIC PLAYLIST — TODAY'S EPISODE ( on podcast app only ) Sugar — Maroon 5 Paradise — Coldplay Riptide — Vance Joy I Want It That Way — Backstreet Boys Human Touch — Bruce Springsteen I Will Survive — Gloria Gaynor All Night Long — Lionel Richie If this episode stayed with you — subscribe, leave a like, or share it with someone who needs a gentler morning.
