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.
Download the free workbook for this episode to rebuild your energy, set emotional boundaries, and detox your mental environment the healthy way.

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?
In this episode of Automatic Mouth, we break down the difference between comparing and competing, how comparisonitis fuels imposter syndrome, and why your brain is wired to keep score even when no one’s playing.
You’ll learn how to:
✅ Reframe comparison into clarity
✅ Compete only with your past self
✅ Use NLP tools like submodalities to literally rewire your self-perception
👄 Automatic Mouth — real talk for the mind that never stops thinking.
