  • Unlocking the Guardian: How Memory and Insight Shape Our Lives and Relationships
    Feb 20 2025

    In this episode of Now I Get It, I dive deep into the cognitive function I call the Guardian. I explain how this function goes beyond simple memory recall—it’s a dynamic process that compares our present experiences with past memories to generate vital insights. I share how the Guardian ensures that things go right by noticing deviations from our established routines, whether it’s adjusting a recipe or navigating the complexities of personal relationships. This function, much like a trusted keeper of our memories, is essential for maintaining balance and security in our lives.


    I also explore how the Guardian impacts our interpersonal relationships and personal growth. By emphasizing the importance of traditions, social structures, and the subtle art of non-verbal communication (like distinctive hand gestures), I reveal how our need to feel remembered and valued can influence our interactions. I discuss practical strategies such as mindful meditation to better engage this cognitive function, thereby enhancing decision-making and enriching our relationships. Join me as I uncover how harnessing the power of memory can lead to more thoughtful, secure, and fulfilling experiences.

    • 00:19 – What the Guardian cognitive function is, and how it uses memory to generate insight by comparing present experiences with the past.

  • Unlocking Your Scout Function: Enhancing Sensory Awareness for Better Decision Making
    Feb 6 2025

    In this episode of Now I Get It, I dive deep into the concept of the "Scout" cognitive function. The Scout function focuses on sensory awareness, helping us tune into the world around us in exquisite detail. Whether through sight, sound, smell, or touch, this function helps us process what is real and exists in our environment. I explain how the Scout operates in a person's life and how this heightened sensitivity can be a powerful tool in decision-making and personal growth.


    I also discuss how we can develop and fine-tune the Scout function in ourselves. By noticing the world around us with more intention—whether it's the texture of an object, the harmony in music, or the scent of a flower—we can sharpen our awareness and enhance our daily experiences. You'll learn about the connection between this sensory function and personality types, as well as how mindfulness exercises can boost your ability to notice the details that often go unnoticed.


    In This Episode, You Will Learn:

    (1:15) What the Scout function is and how it relates to our senses.

    (3:30) The different sensory modalities and how they affect our awareness.

    (6:10) The role of the Scout function in personality development and decision-making.

    (8:25) How the Scout function can help improve daily life through mindfulness and sensory exercises.

    (10:40) Real-life examples of how sharpening the Scout function can enhance your experience of the world.

  • Complimentary Neuroses in Relationships: Why we’re attracted to partners whose patterns mirror and compliment our own
    Dec 26 2024

    In this episode of Now I Get It, I dive into the fascinating topic of complimentary neuroses in relationships. I explain how we tend to be drawn to people whose unresolved patterns and neuroses compliment our own, creating a sense of wholeness. While this dynamic can feel comforting at first, over time, it often leads to conflict and challenges that provide an opportunity for growth and transformation.


    I also walk you through the key developmental stages—like attachment, exploration, and identity—and how experiences during these phases shape our behaviors and attachment styles as adults. By understanding these patterns and embracing the “crucible” of conflict in relationships, we can move beyond a superficial sense of completeness to achieve true wholeness, both individually and as a couple.


    In this episode, you will learn:

    (00:02) What complimentary neuroses are and how they show up in relationships

    I explain why we’re attracted to partners whose patterns mirror and compliment our own.


    (02:20) How developmental stages shape our attachment styles

    I talk about the attachment, exploration, and identity phases and how they impact us as adults.


    (04:12) The outcomes of different attachment styles

    I cover avoidant, anxious, and secure attachments, and how they show up in relationships.


    (08:04) Why pushing polarities can restore balance

    I share how intensifying certain behaviors can help us break free from unbalanced patterns.


    (12:44) The role of relationships as a transformative crucible

    I explain how the heat and pressure of relationship conflict can lead to growth and healing.


    (14:57) Why love frequencies matter

    I talk about the importance of feeling loved in a way that keeps the “crucible” strong enough to hold transformation.
