About this episode
Our memories have a powerful way of bringing the past into the present. These episodic memories—those vivid snapshots of experiences—allow us to recall specific details, reflect on what happened, and even reframe how we see those moments. They help shape our choices, our moods, and the way we move through life. While both positive and negative memories leave a lasting impact, it’s often the emotional extremes—our biggest wins and hardest losses—that stand out most clearly. These memories don’t just live in the past. When we revisit them, they can shift how we feel and influence how we act.
