      <description>Ep. 01: We discuss the mystery of consciousness... touching on near death experiences and how they often impact perception and beliefs, how we interpret our subconscious thoughts, drugs and how they alter consciousness, what happens after you die, and how and why humans constantly search for meaning, all the way down to seeing a smiley face in an outlet plug.</description>

      <description>Ep 02: We chat about phobias, relatable triggers that piss most people off (like other peoples' driving and changing passwords), things that make us cry, why music triggers emotion so easily, how social media is constantly overloading us with emotional input and why we sometimes argue with strangers on the internet, and how emotional triggers are used in marketing. We chat about identifying the root cause of our triggers, why it might be worth considering *why* you are so impacted by a particular thing, and how childhood trauma can be the origin of triggers, and whether our fears and underlying emotions might be leftover from a past life.</description>
