Unlocking the Guardian: How Memory and Insight Shape Our Lives and Relationships

In this episode of Now I Get It, I dive deep into the cognitive function I call the Guardian. I explain how this function goes beyond simple memory recall—it’s a dynamic process that compares our present experiences with past memories to generate vital insights. I share how the Guardian ensures that things go right by noticing deviations from our established routines, whether it’s adjusting a recipe or navigating the complexities of personal relationships. This function, much like a trusted keeper of our memories, is essential for maintaining balance and security in our lives.


I also explore how the Guardian impacts our interpersonal relationships and personal growth. By emphasizing the importance of traditions, social structures, and the subtle art of non-verbal communication (like distinctive hand gestures), I reveal how our need to feel remembered and valued can influence our interactions. I discuss practical strategies such as mindful meditation to better engage this cognitive function, thereby enhancing decision-making and enriching our relationships. Join me as I uncover how harnessing the power of memory can lead to more thoughtful, secure, and fulfilling experiences.

  • 00:00 – How I introduce the episode and set the stage for exploring the Guardian function.
  • 00:19 – What the Guardian cognitive function is, and how it uses memory to generate insight by comparing present experiences with the past.
