Why You Became Like Your Parents (Without Noticing)

You've heard yourself say it. A phrase. A reaction. A habit. And suddenly it's your mother's voice, or your father's. But the things we notice are rarely the most important ones. In this episode of The Awakened Scientist, Dr Perminder Dhanjal explores how we become the people we are: what we learn without being taught, why some of our deepest traits feel like they were always ours, and how to tell what we chose from what we inherited. Perhaps the most powerful lessons are the ones that never sounded like lessons.
