In this episode of Breaking Waves, John and Riley explore synchronicity — the strange feeling that events “line up” with meaning beyond simple cause and effect.

They unpack Carl Jung’s original idea of meaningful coincidence, trace the word’s roots through language and etymology and ask where synchronicity overlaps with perception, pattern recognition, spirituality and psychology.

With humour and real-life examples, the conversation looks at the bright side of noticing connections — and the darker edge when patterns spiral into paranoia or conspiracy thinking.
