About this listen

Every week, Patrick Ward (neuroplastician and founder of Healing Mindshift) and Lauren Ward (writer and lifelong observer of human nature) explore the internet’s weirdest, wildest stories to ask: what’s really going on here? From public freakouts to dating drama to modern mythmaking, this isn’t just gossip—it’s a deep dive into how the brain works, how patterns repeat, and how emotion runs the show (even when no one realizes it). You’ll laugh, raise an eyebrow, and maybe even rethink your own story.

  • You are cordially uninvited to the wedding!

    You are cordially uninvited to the wedding!
    Aug 1 2025

    This week’s episode will hit home for a lot of people. Pulled from Reddit’s Am I the a**h***?, our main subject is upset with her aunt for belittling overweight people in front of her fiancé who has been battling an eating disorder since he was 12.

    But that’s not the only thing going on in her life: She comes from a long line of alcoholics, had a horrible childhood, and everyone in her family thinks they’re the victim of… something.

    But our Aita is committed to breaking the cycle, healing herself and her fiancé, which is probably why she suddenly decided to lash out and uninvite her aunt to the wedding.

    Overreaction? That part is for to decide.

    Join Patrick and Lauren to hear what is likely going on beneath the surface for everyone involved and what Patrick would encourage them to work on if they came to him for a memory reconsolidation session.

    Help! My mom keeps bringing home pets!
    Jul 31 2025

    A mom keeps bringing home pets to her daughter after the family dog dies. Her daughter puts up with it until she pops. But she's got stuff going on, too, because she dropped out of high school when she was 16 and rarely leaves the house. What's going on beneath the surface with everyone? Is it all just about the family dog with mom? Obviously, everyone in this family is dealing with something. Hosts Patrick and Lauren Ward discuss just what they think is happening in this week's Internet, are you OK?
