Episode Synopsis

In this episode, your host, Erin Monahan, goes OFF THE DEEP END about the roots of psychoanalysis and how its ominous influence shows up in modern day marketing tactics that can put us in a trauma-triggered state. Get ready to learn the brief history of how “the father of public relations,” Edward Bernays, swiped his uncle’s, Sigmund Freud’s, research in order to promote wars and fuel consumerism. You’ll also walk away with tangible tools to aid you in making more conscious and discerning money choices no matter if you’re being bombarded with Black Friday FOMO deals or profusely sweating over the decision of whether or not you should buy that cute mug from Target.
