We’re talking about the brain today, and the narratives that run on autopilot in our heads.

If you tend to be the person who always goes to the WORST case scenario, or you’re always waiting for the other shoe to drop . . . OR you constantly resent your to-do list and feel like your days drag on . . . today’s episode is for you.

PLUS it’s our Season 2 Finale!!

We’re taking a little bit of a summer hiatus, but we’re back full force in the fall. So please feel free to check out some of the past episodes you might have missed, or re-listen to some of your faves!

As always, your shares and support mean a lot. Thank you for being part of this feelgoodery space.

Until we meet again on here, feel free to hang out with me on Instagram (@itskyleb).

I hope you enjoy today’s episode! Have a great summer!

This morning I did something I never thought I'd do.

I talked about this story on national television - which is wild. So with that, and in honour of Pride - we're going into the vault and revisiting this episode with my sister, Emily Buchanan.

This episode was one of the most listened to, and shared episodes to date - so if you're brand new to feelgoodery - welcome! What a gay way to start the journey! ;)

This is for the days, or times in our lives where we just feel like something's off. Where maybe things are fine, but you just don't feel "like you" and you're not sure why.

There can be a lot of reasons - and in today's episode, we're taking stock of one of them. And we're narrowing in on a visual that might help us become aware of how valuable our energy actually is . . . and who we spend that energy on.

Another word for energy . . is magic (which, let's be honest, is just more fun to think about). If magic is too corny a thought, you can use light, or that spark - whatever fuels the best version of yourself.

Today - we're getting honest, and delving into what might be taking your magic away.

We're covering:

• breaking down the concept
• 3 examples of magic-drainers
• next steps
• today's feelgood thing
