🎙️ UNCHARTED Episode 9 – The Pigeon Trap

Trading Psychology and Emotional Traps in Trading and Relationships

In this powerful episode of Uncharted, Lisa N. Edwards pulls back the curtain on one of the deepest traps we face in both trading and love: the Variable Reward System — also known as The Pigeon Trap.

Drawing from the groundbreaking 1950s experiment by B.F. Skinner, Lisa explores how the same psychological conditioning that caused pigeons to obsessively peck at a lever mirrors the way we chase emotional highs in volatile markets — and heartbreakingly, in toxic relationships too.

You'll discover how dopamine — the brain’s "anticipation" chemical — is the real culprit behind impulsive trades, addictive texting habits, emotional spirals, and the endless chase for validation. Lisa explains how emotional wounds like abandonment, rejection, betrayal, shame, and injustice fuel these destructive cycles — and why understanding them is the key to taking your power back.

Inside this episode:
✨ Why crypto traders are especially vulnerable to dopamine-driven decision making
✨ How trading apps, social media, and toxic partners use the same behavioural hooks
✨ The brutal truth about emotional FOMO — in the markets and in love
✨ The illusion of control and why chasing outcomes sabotages your success
✨ How to spot and break the variable reward loops keeping you stuck
✨ Practical strategies to master emotional regulation in trading and relationships
✨ How your core wounds quietly sabotage your decisions — and how to heal them
✨ Why boundaries, emotional discipline, and self-awareness are the real "edge"
✨ How to finally stop being a pigeon... and start being the strategist of your own life

Lisa shares raw personal experiences from both the trading world and the messiness of being human, connecting the dots between financial markets, human psychology, emotional trauma, and personal growth in a way few people dare to.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle — chasing the next high, the next trade, the next text, the next “maybe this time it’ll be different” moment — this episode is your wake-up call.

It's not just about trading smarter. It's about living smarter.

🔑 Key takeaway: If you treated your heart like your trading capital, would you risk it so carelessly? It's time to trade — and love — differently.

Welcome to Uncharted—where we rip the map from your hands and question everything you thought you knew about money, psychology, and time. In this raw and revealing episode, Lisa N. Edwards peels back the illusion of time itself.

From navigating billion-dollar business decisions and crypto chaos to healing childhood trauma and reclaiming the present moment, this episode is a deep dive into the psychology of time. Lisa explores why we feel like we’re always behind, how our brains warp reality, and how chasing clocks, calendars, and deadlines is keeping us disconnected from our own lives.

You’ll discover:

• Why time isn’t real (and how quantum physics proves it)
• The myth of “being late” and the power of right now
• How trauma freezes your timeline and hijacks your growth
• The “Christmas Morning Effect” and why life speeds up as we age
• The real reason you procrastinate (hint: it’s not laziness—it’s fear)
• How the rich buy back time—and how you can too
• Lisa’s tools to stop wasting your time and start owning it
• What Tony Robbins’ 6 Human Needs can teach us about slowing time down
• The “Regret Test” that will shake you awake
• And one question that might just change your life:
  If you had one more year to live… what would you change today?

This isn’t just about managing your schedule, it’s about reclaiming your soul from the systems, stories, and expectations that are stealing your time without asking.

Whether you’re stuck in a loop, grieving wasted years, or trying to slow down a life that feels like it’s moving too fast—this is the episode you didn’t know you needed.

Make sure you drop a comment:
“If you had one more year to live, what would you change today?”
Tag someone who’s always saying “later.” Because later isn’t promised.
This is the episode that might just change everything.
Follow Uncharted for weekly conversations that shake your reality and remind you what really matters.

Episode 7 – The Truth About Boundaries Nobody Tells You

In this raw and deeply personal episode of UNCHARTED, Lisa peels back the layers on something most of us think we understand—boundaries. But not the Instagram-quote, face-mask, “just block him” kind. We’re talking about the soul-cracking, nervous-system-shaking kind of boundaries—the ones that feel more like grief than growth.

Lisa shares her own story of navigating love, in 15-year marriage and then a relationship with addiction, betrayal, and self-abandonment a relationship that inspired her feature film CoinRunnersMovie.com, and a pattern of overloving that many women will recognise. She explores how boundaries can feel like heartbreak, how getting loud is often the last attempt to be heard, and what it really means to choose yourself, especially when it feels like everything is falling apart.

You’ll hear the truths no one talks about:

• Why holding a boundary can feel like betrayal… of you
• How we mistake chaos for connection
• Why “getting loud” doesn’t make you crazy—it makes you human
• And how burning the bridge might actually be the beginning of rebirth

Lisa breaks down the painful reality of letting go of someone you love when they can’t meet you where you are. She talks about the cost of self-abandonment, the grief of shared dreams, and how boundaries aren’t about controlling others—they’re sacred promises to yourself.

This episode is part podcast, part therapy session, and part love letter to every woman who’s ever questioned whether her standards were too high, her voice too loud, or her boundaries too much.

Because you are not too much. You were just in a space too small for your truth.

Whether you’re in the middle of a breakup, trying to break a toxic pattern, or learning to love yourself louder than the silence someone left behind—this episode will meet you right where you are.

And if no one’s told you today:
You didn’t lose anything that was ever truly yours.
You’re not selfish for choosing peace.
And your boundaries?
They’re not the end.
They’re the beginning of everything right.
