When sh*t hits the fan we often blame foot-in-mouth-disease (or mouth engaging before brain) for any harsh words and uncomfortable silences. So....I'm on a quest to debunk that excuse and use my brain for more than just remembering song lyrics from the 80s. Join me, self-proclaimed NLP Junkie, and the always effervescent Mr Truelove as we venture into mindset, linguistics, inappropriate humour, and finding a cure for 'foot-in-mouth' disease. See you on the inside, Alison ;)

    Protect Your Energy: Why Negativity Drains You & How to Rewire Your Mind (Without Toxic Positivity)

    Have you ever left a conversation feeling like someone siphoned your soul through a straw? Yeah… same. In this episode of Automatic Mouth, we’re diving into the actual neuroscience behind burnout, negativity, venting, emotional contagion, and why some people exhaust you even when you’re “just listening.” Inside this episode you’ll learn: • What really happens in your brain when you complain — and when you hear someone else complain • Why venting feels good in the moment (hello dopamine… you sneaky little gremlin) • How chronic negativity activates the amygdala, cortisol, and emotional exhaustion • Why “good vibes only” is just emotional avoidance in a sparkly hat • How to shift your mindset from negative → neutral → grounded → positive without faking it • How to protect your energy so you stop burning out from other people’s chaos • Practical, psychologically-backed tools for emotional boundaries, self-regulation & realistic positivity This isn’t toxic positivity, spiritual bypassing, or “just think happy thoughts.” This is brain science + practical psychology + mindset you can actually use.

    The Comparison Trap: Competing with the Wrong Person

    We all do it — scroll, compare, question our worth, repeat. But what if comparison wasn’t the enemy… what if it’s just information?

    Profiles, Projections & Personas: When Psychology Goes Public

    In this final episode of the Personality Psychology series, Alison zooms out to explore how personality theories actually show up in everyday life — from boardrooms to bedrooms to the algorithm-driven worlds of social media. We’ll unpack how profiling tools like DISC, MBTI, and the Big Five are used (and misused) in hiring, dating, branding, and identity formation — and what that says about the human need to understand, label, and belong. It’s a big-picture reflection on the psychology of personality… and the personalities of psychology. ⚡️Download your free PPP Guide here https://bit.ly/PPPGuideAutomaticMouth 🎧 Stream Profiles, Projections & Personas wherever you listen to your favourite podcasts. 💬 Follow @TalkTrainCo for more psychology, mindset, and modern human behaviour insights.

    The Big Picture of Personality Psychology 🖼️

    Why do we behave the way we do? Freud blamed our unconscious desires, Maslow built a pyramid of needs, and the Big Five reduced us to five dimensions on a chart. In this episode of Automatic Mouth, we zoom out to explore the big frameworks of personality psychology—what they overlap on, what they get wrong, and what they completely miss. We’ll cover: • Freud’s unconscious drives and defense mechanisms • Maslow and Rogers’ humanistic turn toward growth and potential • The rise of trait psychology, from Eysenck to the Big Five (OCEAN) • How these theories connect—and where they fall short • Why your personality is more than just traits on a test 👉 Subscribe to Automatic Mouth for more deep dives into psychology, mindset, and the art of being human. 🎧 Available on Spotify, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you listen.

    More Than a Colour: Personality Profiling, Unpacked

    Are you an INFP? An ESTJ? Or maybe you’ve been told you’re a Red, Blue, Yellow, or Green. These personality profiles are everywhere—workplaces, dating apps, trainings. But where did they come from? And are they helping us grow… or just boxing us in? In this episode of Automatic Mouth, Alison traces it all back to Carl Jung. Jung introduced four ways people process the world: sensing, thinking, feeling, and intuition. Those ideas grew into MBTI and later colour-coded personality systems. ✨ In this conversation: • Jung’s four functions, simplified • How MBTI became the four-letter craze • The rise of Red/Blue/Yellow/Green systems • Why profiling tools are fascinating and flawed • How to use them as springboards—not handcuffs Because you’re not just four letters. You’re not just a colour. You’re a whole damn palette.

    🏷️ Labels Are Handcuffs: Beyond Introvert & Extrovert

    What did Jung really mean when he first introduced “Extraversion” and “Introversion”? Spoiler: it wasn’t “outgoing vs shy.” It was about where your energy flows ⚡️ outward into the world 🌏, or inward into reflection 🪞. But somewhere along the way, these ideas became sticky labels we slap on ourselves: 👉 “I’m just an introvert, so I can’t…” 👉 “I’m an extrovert, so don’t expect me to…” Here’s the problem: those labels become handcuffs. Instead of self-awareness, they turn into self-limitations. In this episode of Automatic Mouth 👄, I unpack Jung’s original idea, strip it back to something simple and usable, and share my own perspective: we’re not here to box ourselves in—we’re here to expand. Knowing your patterns is just the starting point. Growth happens when you explore the other side. 🎧 In this conversation: • Jung’s true meaning of extraversion & introversion (beyond pop stereotypes) • Why labels are useful only when they expand, not restrict • How NLP & psychology agree: awareness = choice = possibilities • A simple exercise to stretch beyond your comfort zone So next time someone tells you “you’re such an introvert” or “you’re such an extrovert,” smile and remember 😘 you’re more than the label. You’re the whole terrain. ✨ Full episode available now—listen, subscribe, and share with someone who’s tired of being boxed in.
