  Ep25 - Why We Think, Feel and React the Way We Do | Jackie Cooper

  Jul 7, 202647 minS1

  What if many of the challenges you face today actually started in childhood? In this episode, I sit down with Jackie Cooper to explore how our early experiences shape the way we think, feel and behave as adults. We discuss limiting beliefs, emotional health, relationships, people pleasing, boundaries, personal transformation and why understanding yourself is the first step towards lasting change. We also talk about something rarely discussed in the decorating trade: andropause, testosterone and men's hormonal health. If you've ever wondered why you react the way you do or felt like you're repeating the same patterns, this conversation is well worth a listen.
