What Is Consciousness? How It Shapes Your Emotions Without You Realizing It | EP 21
What do a rainy day, a latte, and a runaway scroll session have in common?
They’re all part of a deep dive into something that sounds simple—but is sneakily powerful: consciousness.
In this episode, we’re not just talking about being “awake” or “mindful.” We’re unpacking the whole layered lasagna of consciousness—one steamy, spicy layer at a time.
🧠 From self-awareness to flow states, meta-awareness to collective moods, Kim takes you on a walk through the coffee shop of your mind (literally).
☕ It’s cozy, it’s real, and you don’t need a philosophy degree to follow along. Just a little curiosity.
Inside this episode, you’ll taste:
• The difference between wakefulness and awareness
• What phenomenal consciousness feels like (hello cozy mug and rainy-day vibes)
• Access consciousness (when your brain hands you a metaphor out of nowhere)
• Self-awareness and meta-awareness (a.k.a. getting lost in scrolling and then catching yourself)
• Subconscious processing and memory pop-ins
• Collective consciousness and emotional radio stations
• Flow state magic—when everything just clicks
• And moral consciousness, the compass that quietly points us toward kindness
💡 Why does it matter?
Because when you understand the flavors of your own consciousness, you stop running on autopilot. You shift from being a passive passenger in your emotional life to the chef remixing your own emotional recipes. And that is the beginning of emotional freedom.
💬 Quote from the Episode:
“You can’t change what you’re not conscious of—but the second you become aware? Game on.”
Follow Kim for weekly insights, emotional recipes, and a whole lot of curiosity served with a side of sass.
