The first strand of my podcast episodes will focus on uncovering the personal and subjective experiences of upbringing. Childhood is not only universally relatable but also a treasure of unique, entertaining stories that shape who we are. By starting with guests' early years, I’ll guide the conversation to gradually explore their values, beliefs, passions, interests, and aspirations as they evolve through their journey of growing up. As these layers are revealed, I’ll hone in on the standout moments or themes that emerge and connect them to psychological theories, drawing links between their upbringing and the people they’ve become today. This approach blends personal storytelling with psychology, offering a fresh perspective on how our early lives influence the values and aspirations that drive us.
