One of my BFFs is on again to chat about romance in media. We rank each other's crushes, do a "Bad Boy Bracket" and try to guess the 90s romance based on the tagline. It's just a lot of silly fun.

Please rate and review!

In this solo episode, I talk about the science of Seasonal Affective Disorder and what scientists say is the best remedies for it. I will also look towards the Danish and their philosophy of Hygge (hint: It's much more than just cozy.) and look at a few more mindset shifts to make you appreciate the treasures that winter has to offer.
