In this episode Rick Schneider, the host of the Up and Running Morning Show on 98.1 WKZE, and Caroline Phipps, the founder of Living with Inner Elegance, for an insightful discussion on "The Seduction of Bad News". Caroline delves into the historical and psychological reasons behind our attraction to negative headlines and the concept of negative bias.

From the influence of William Randolph Hearst's sensational journalism to the biological pull towards negativity, Caroline explains why bad news captures our attention more than good news. She also explores how this affects our perception of the world and our collective belief that things are always getting worse.

Rick and Caroline discuss the importance of focusing on positive stories and the impact of good news on our mental and emotional well-being. They share inspiring examples of people making a difference, like former President Jimmy Carter's work with Habitat for Humanity, and highlight the need to celebrate and amplify such stories.

Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that encourages us to shift our focus towards positivity and spread good vibes. And don't miss Caroline's offer for a free consultation to help you live with more inner elegance.
