In what ways do you communicate online? Rewatching Younger recently, I came across an episode from 2016 where a character warned that we might be in the midst of a “technopanic.” Back then, it sounded a bit alarmist, like the show was trying to play with the growing […]
What makes a good leader? Today marks the birthday of the one and only Dolly Parton, and as I think about her legacy, I can’t help but smile. My mom absolutely adored Dolly, and I grew up hearing her songs, seeing her sparkle, and feeling inspired by her […]
I’ve been binging this show Wild Cards, and I have to say, it’s been an interesting ride. Max, the female lead, had this line that made me pause and chuckle, “So the boat doesn’t boat?” A classic zinger. And honestly, it got me thinking—how often do we encounter […]
There’s a certain giddiness that comes with making it to Friday. The light at the end of the workweek tunnel, right? You’ve survived the chaos, outmaneuvered the email avalanche, and maybe even remembered to eat lunch once or twice. But just when I’m ready to claim victory over […]

I’ve been tuning into Bloomberg News again, and let me tell you, it’s become my daily dose of witty inspiration. Last week, it was all about stickiness—a term they threw out as if it were the key to understanding the entire economy. I thought, “Sticky like gum under […]
F. Scott Fitzgerald once said, “The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function.” As a psychologist, let me tell you, that quote is the ultimate mic drop for […]
What snack would you eat right now? There are days when your snack of choice is chips, cookies, or whatever you can grab without breaking a sweat. Then there are days when your snack of choice is… soup. Yeah, you read that right. Today’s menu is all about […]
