How to Be an Adult: The Untold Lesson (Ep. 2)

August 31, 2023

In this episode, we’re going to delve into a philosophy of adulthood that makes it empowering and liberating, rather than onerous and burdensome. We challenge a few popular notions, like that self-love is self-centred, or that truth is irrelevant in a world where narrative is everything. This is the guide to life that your parents should have given you by the age of 18, but didn’t.


Your hosts are Luke Chao, founder of The Morpheus Clinic for Hypnosis, and Pascal Langdale, the newest addition to our team. While Luke has been a lifelong hypnotherapist and speaks from that perspective, Pascal has had a diverse and wide-ranging career—most prominently in the performing arts—and is a father in a blended family.
