  • In this episode, I will be exploring something that’s deeply embedded in our culture and emotions: Christmas. It’s a holiday filled with joy, nostalgia, stress, and, depending on how you celebrate, quite a lot of complexity. But what’s really happening in our minds during this season?

    In this episode, I'm going to look at the psychology of Christmas, examining everything from the feelings of happiness and togetherness that many associate with the season to the stress and pressure that can sometimes sneak in. I’ll also talk about the role of traditions, consumerism, and even some surprising scientific findings about how Christmas affects our brains.

  • This week, I'm digging into a fascinating and often misunderstood aspect of our lives: the push for perceived achievement. This brings about many questions: How do we measure success? Why are we driven to achieve certain things, and what role does perception—our internal or external view of achievement—play in that drive, especially when the recognition of that achievement might not be as tangible as we think?

    I’ll discuss the concepts of social comparison, intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation, the role of self-worth, and how the illusion of success can sometimes drive us harder than any concrete goal.

  • This week I’m diving into a topic that can feel like walking a tightrope: the psychology of being friends with a cheater.

    Don’t skip this episode just yet. You may be surprised by what’s to come. Whether you’ve experienced this situation yourself or just trying to understand the dynamics, it can be a confusing and emotionally charged experience.

    We won’t engage in shaming but rather get a little perspective. So if you’ve been the cheater, been cheated on, the friend of a cheater, or perhaps all of the above, you may learn something new in this week’s episode.

    As we know, friendship is built on a foundation of trust, and when that trust is compromised or betrayed, especially by someone close to you, someone you’ve known for years who you thought you understood inside and out and vice versa, it can stir up all kinds of emotions.

    We’ll explore why people cheat, how friendships are affected, and how to navigate these tricky waters with empathy and boundaries.

  • In this episode, I will dive into the minds of people in the workplace, explore the hidden dynamics that shape our professional lives, and tackle a fascinating and somewhat quirky topic: the psychology behind co-workers who try to relive their high school days.

    It’s something many of us have seen — those colleagues who seem to get stuck in their adolescent years, often bringing high school-style drama, cliques, and even social hierarchies into the workplace. But why does this happen? What’s going on beneath the surface?

    Kind reminder: positive psychology is the study of human strengths and flourishing, whereas toxic positivity is the belief that people should maintain a positive mindset no matter how bad, sad, or challenging a situation is. Toxic positivity is a red flag.

  • Cooking is more than just a functional task. It’s a sensory experience, a creative outlet, and for many, a form of self-expression. But what’s happening in our minds when we cook? Why does preparing food often feel so meditative or rewarding? And how can cooking help us better understand ourselves?

    In this episode, I’ll explore the psychology of cooking. I’ll talk about how it influences our mental state, emotions, and even our relationships with others. So whether you’re an experienced chef or someone who dreads stepping into the kitchen, there’s something here for you. I’m really excited about this episode.
