We got stuck into many topics in this discussion, among others her pivoting points from what many would percieve as a tried and tested path to the one she finds herself in today. We also dove deep into some of the ways she handles negativity, looking back at when she was just 14 years of age to now.As always, we hope you enjoy, Mere Mortals out!About Mere Mortals:Mere Mortals chronicles the journey of Juan & Kyrin as they explore topics of interest and gain learning from the successes in life, but more importantly the failures.Connect with Mere Mortals:Website: meremortalsmedia.comInstagram: @mere_mortals_media (instagram.com/mere_mortals_media)Twitter: @MortalsmereFacebook: https://facebook.com/MeremortalsmediaSupport the show

In this episode we discuss the topic of 'Death'. In particular we try to focus on the psychology of how humans (including us Mere Mortals) approach the subject. This takes us down the path of the afterlife and why religion seems to have systems and the language in place to help those dealing with grief or the loss of a loved one. We also talk about how much we personally think about death in our daily lives and whether there is any anxiety or fear lurking in the background (or foreground). Finally we finish off with some discussion about what awaits beyond this life before ending on a lighter note of the Darwin Awards and some silly ways people have taken themselves out of the gene pool.

In this episode Juan and Kyrin discuss 'Money, Money, Money ...... Mooneeeeyy'. In particular they try to stay away from closely related terms of wealth or finance, and zero in on why we use money as a concept of value and they psychological aspects of our interactions with it. As usual at the beginning, there are the Mere Mortal Moments of 'Upon reaching homeostasis we tend to complain, not realising how far we have come and things have changed' & 'What you do is what you will become and/or what you will achieve'. The first part of the conversation revolves around defining 'money' and the difference between hard money and fiat money. They then each go through their own stories of how they behaved psychologically with it and how that has changed over time (in brief, going from a more scarcity mindset closer to one of abundance). Finally ending with an assertion of the importance of budgeting as well as some other psychological ways of viewing your own relationship to it.As mentioned in the video, find below a link to Ray Dalio's 30 minute video on the economic system (a truly great watch):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHe0b...Support the show
