#175 The Psychology of "Lucky Girl Syndrome"

Lucky girl syndrome went viral on TikTok, but the psychology behind it is decades old. In this episode, Keegan unpacks confirmation bias, locus of control, and why the stories we tell ourselves shape what we notice in the world. Drawing on conversations with Dr. Megan Lee and his own experience of being medically retired from the NRL at 24, Keegan breaks down how belief systems form, why gratitude rewires the brain toward optimism, and how to catch the negative inner voice before it takes hold.
