What happens when curiosity meets conflict? Brandon & Deb explore how our words shape not just opinions — but entire realities. This episode dives deep into the psychology of language, emotional projection, and the cost of losing critical thinking in a world of noise.

💬 Curiosity, Projection & Free Speech: How to Think for Yourself in a Noisy World Most people don’t think — they react. They mistake opinions for facts, and emotion for truth. In this powerful conversation, Brandon and Deb break down how language, projection, and suppressed curiosity influence everything from online debates to our personal relationships.

From the Charlie Kirk controversy to ancient rhetorical roots, this episode challenges you to ask better questions — and listen without fear. It’s not about choosing sides. It’s about reclaiming your ability to think critically, speak consciously, and create harmony through awareness.

In this episode of the Your True Alchemy Podcast, we dive into conscious language and how the words you speak shape your reality, relationships, and results. Using principles from NLP and ancient wisdom, we explore why language is not just descriptive, it is creative.

You will learn how unconscious phrases keep patterns in place, how tone and body language influence connection, and how to shift from fear-based language into intentional, empowered communication. We also unpack why misunderstandings happen, how responsibility plays a role in communication, and how awareness protects you from manipulation.

If you want to speak with clarity, lead with confidence, and create real change starting from the inside out, this episode is for you.

✨ Welcome to the debut of Your True Alchemy! ✨ In this first episode, Deb & Brandon Yager share their raw, real stories of struggle, growth, and the hidden loops that keep so many of us stuck in self-sabotage, overwork, and destructive patterns.

In this episode of the Your True Alchemy Podcast, we break down one of the most common mind traps shaping modern life: forced choice thinking. You’ve seen it everywhere. Right vs Left. Us vs Them. A vs B. The problem is not that people disagree. The problem is the illusion that there are only two options, and that you must pick a side to be “right.”

We unpack how this false binary shows up in society, online discourse, relationships, coaching, and decision-making, and why it can feel hypnotic. When your mind locks into only two directions, it becomes harder to think clearly, stay compassionate, and see the options that actually create freedom.

This conversation is for anyone who wants more clarity, more resilience, and a more grounded way of navigating conflict without getting pulled into extremes.

What you’ll learn:

- What a forced choice dichotomy is and why it is a logical fallacy

- How “either-or” thinking limits your life, relationships, and leadership

- Why increasing choice changes everything (including how you handle conflict)

- A practical framework for asking: “What is the highest intention here?”

- How to stop living in “us vs them” and return to balance

If this resonates, share it with someone who feels stuck between two options. There’s usually a third path.

There was a time when neither of them had it figured out.

Brandon felt lost and disconnected from his purpose. Deborah was stuck in patterns that helped her cope, but not heal. Addiction, self-sabotage, and unhealthy relationships were part of their story.

What you see today did not happen overnight.

In this episode, Brandon and Deborah share the real work behind their transformation.

The moments of self-awareness. The discipline it took to stop numbing. The honesty that changed everything.
