A lot of what you call your personality, what I call my personality, is actually just a learned response to life
Ever wondered how much your environment shapes who you are? In this episode of 'Alive and Free', the topic of 'Beware Of The Marinade' is tackled head-on. The hosts explore how societal norms and the environment we immerse ourselves in can significantly influence our personalities, beliefs, and behaviours.
They argue that much of what we consider our personality is a learned response to life, shaped by the 'marinades' we soak in daily - from the media we consume to the communities we belong to. The episode dives into the concept of epigenetics, explaining how external factors can affect gene expression and, consequently, our mental and physical health.
Using real-life anecdotes, the hosts highlight the dangers of accepting societal labels and encourage listeners to critically evaluate the influences around them. This thought-provoking discussion aims to empower you to take control of your own 'marinade' and cultivate a healthier, more positive environment for yourself. So, if you're ready to challenge your perceptions and take a closer look at what shapes you, this episode is a must-listen.
