Description

Why Do I Do This? with Johnny Lawrence is a podcast about understanding yourself. Each week, Johnny explores the psychology, emotions and hidden patterns behind why we think, feel and behave the way we do, answering a listener's question on topics like people-pleasing, overthinking, anger, confidence, relationships and purpose. Once a month, he's joined by a special guest for deeper conversations and fresh perspectives. Because lasting change begins by understanding why you do what you do. New episodes every Wednesday.
