I recently stumbled upon an article, courtesy of a TikTok deep dive (don’t judge), that featured an interview with Friends star Matt LeBlanc. Now, while Joey Tribbiani might have been all about pizza and asking “How you doin’?”, it turns out real-life Matt is all about…doing nothing. And […]
So, I was rewatching The Night Agent—a show full of intrigue, danger, and lots of techy lingo—when I first heard the term “doomscrolling.” It hit me like a light bulb moment. There it was, a word that perfectly encapsulates what many of us have been doing these last […]
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 […]
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 […]
Ever had one of those days where something just feels… off? Like maybe, just maybe, there’s a glitch in the matrix? I’m not talking about seeing black cats cross your path twice (although that would be pretty nerve-wracking). I’m talking about those tiny, weird moments where life seems […]
What’s the first impression you want to give people? I’m everywhere and nowhere at the same time. At least, that’s what it feels like on any given day as I bounce between Twitter, Instagram, BlueSky, Threads, LinkedIn, Tumblr, TikTok, and beyond. The wild part? I didn’t even remember […]
There are two types of hoarding in today’s world: the stuff that clutters your living room, and the kind that clogs up your phone with 32,000 emails and 10,000 photos you’ll never actually print. And here I am, guilty as charged, digitally hoarding to a level that would […]
What podcasts are you listening to? Let me just put this out there: I don’t listen to podcasts. Nope. Nada. Not even when the universe nudges me with “Oh, you have to hear this one!” Do I? Really? Look, I’m in meetings all day long—work, Zoom, the “let’s […]
It’s funny how a simple scroll through Facebook can take you down a rabbit hole, tugging at your heartstrings and bringing back bittersweet memories. Today, I stumbled upon an old friend’s page—she’s been gone for five years, but her profile is still there, quietly holding on to fragments […]
It’s past midnight, and here I am, eyes glued to the glow of my phone, scrolling through Twitter like it’s the key to unlocking the mysteries of the universe. Spoiler alert: it’s not. Instead, I’m bombarded with cat videos, political rants, and that one guy live-tweeting his epic […]
