You might think you're steering the ship—but what if something beneath the surface is holding the wheel?In this first half of a two-part conversation, Lora and Jeff explore the conscious, subconscious, and unconscious layers of the mind—and why what we don’t know is often what drives us. Using metaphors, clinical insight, personal stories, and somatic wisdom, we unpack how early imprints, ancestral beliefs, and even misunderstood gut instincts can shape our lives without our awareness.Lora shares trauma-informed ways to begin exploring the unconscious without shame or overwhelm. Jeff opens up about the moments he’s realized certain values, choices, or reactions might not actually be his—they might be inherited or imprinted from long ago.Whether you’re newly curious about shadow work, or deep into healing old patterns, this episode offers gentle insights, surprising clarity, and encouragement to stay curious about what lives beneath the surface.In this episode:-Conscious vs. subconscious vs. unconscious: What’s the difference?-Why Jung rejected the term “subconscious”-The iceberg model of the mind-Gut instinct vs. misread data (and how trauma confuses the two)-The story of the trombone and the imprint in the sand-Generational beliefs and inherited emotional blueprints-Patterns, defensiveness, people-pleasing, and guilt as signals-How mindfulness, meditation, and curiosity help reveal what’s driving us-Why self-knowledge is always evolving—and never completeConnect with So What Who CaresEmail: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@sowhatwhocarespodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@sowhatwhocarespodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠So What Who Cares Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@sowhatwhocarespodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠Find Lora McCarville at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.loramccarville.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chapters[00:00] Listener Invitation + Iceberg Parable[04:10] Conscious, Subconscious, and Unconscious Defined[08:15] Jung’s Perspective + Iceberg Reframe[12:40] Gut Instinct or Misread Data?[16:00] The Trombone Story + PTSD & Imprints[20:45] Imprints, Samskaras & Subtle Grooves of the Mind[25:30] Curiosity in Mindfulness & Pattern Recognition[30:00] Signs of Unconscious Drivers: Guilt, Defensiveness, People-Pleasing[34:20] Inherited Stories and Generational Programming[39:00] “The System Can’t Know Itself” and Embracing Evolution[42:00] Lora’s Story: Divorce and the Legacy of Suffering[47:15] How to Begin the Work + Why Curiosity Is Key[50:00] Parting Thoughts + What’s Coming in Part Two#sowhatwhocarespodcast #loramccarville #jeffkalasky #theicebergepisode #unconsciousmind #shadowwork #jungianpsychology #generationalhealing #innerwork #mindbodyconnection #traumainformed #healingjourney #selfinquiry #integrationwork #nervoussystemregulation #gutinstincts #consciousliving #mentalhealthpodcast #personaldevelopment #emotionalawareness #patternsandtriggers #selfdiscovery
