Why does dancing in a crowd feel so good? What is the emotional allure of the dance floor, the club scene, the music? Today, we’re exploring the psychology of clubbing, from the physiological rush of a beat drop to the role it plays in making the most of our 20s.

Watch on Netflix: HERE

We discuss:
How music and dance influence our mood
Collective effervescence: the feeling of being part of something bigger
Why clubs feel freeing for some and overwhelming for others
Alcohol, inhibition and “hangxiety”
Clubbing as a coming-of-age ritual
FOMO, nostalgia and why our relationship with nightlife changes

Happy listening!

473. The psychology of clubbing 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/bb0a4c58-ff0d-4aaa-93b7-b4ef0090b886/transcript

Why do some people seem to move from relationship to relationship with barely any time in between, and why does being single feel almost impossible for them? In this bonus episode, we’re diving into the psychology behind relationship hopping (aka serial monogamy) and what’s really happening when someone craves commitment quickly, struggles with time alone, or keeps repeating the same cycle with different partners.

We explore:
•        The role of attachment in serial monogamy
•        Why artificial closeness is so appealing
•        The pull of the infatuation cycle
•        The brain chemistry of love, reward and attachment
•        What this pattern can teach us about self-growth
 
Happy listening!

475. Why some people can't stay single 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/64fc5009-13f3-4f7f-a73d-b4f200a153bf/transcript

Content note: This episode includes discussions of exercise, dieting, weight loss and body image.

How do you learn to love exercise when it has always felt like punishment? In today’s more personal episode, I’m sharing how I completely changed my relationship with movement over the past three years, from barely moving to running half marathons and genuinely enjoying the gym.

Watch on Netflix: HERE

We discuss:
Why enjoyment became more important than discipline
Starting slowly and letting yourself stop
How I focused on progress that wasn't attached to my appearance
Removing comparison from your fitness journey
My running tips 
Why taking a break doesn’t mean having to start all over again

Happy listening!

474. How I transformed my relationship with exercise

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/4bdcac0d-56cd-415e-9bb4-b4f200865d89/transcript

Is a 'spark' all that it takes to be compatible in the long-term? What about sharing the same interests, personality or sense of humour? Or is it something more deep and intangible? In today’s episode, we explore what ACTUALLY makes two people right for each other, and why the things that draw us together aren’t always the things that keep us together.

Watch on Netflix: HERE

We discuss:


Chemistry versus long-term compatibility


Why shared values matter more than shared hobbies


The importance of feeling understood, appreciated and responded to (i.e the Gottman's theory of responsiveness)


How the belief in soulmates can shape your relationship


The Four Horsemen that erode connection


What an argument can reveal about your future together

Whether you’re dating someone new or reflecting on a long-term relationship, this episode explores what it means to build a love that lasts, through change, conflict and the thousands of little choices we make along the way.
