  • Resolutions? Don't Know Her.
    Jan 9 2026

    New year, new you? Yeah… no.

    In this episode of Shrinks and Giggles, we break down why New Year’s resolutions usually don’t work—and how they often lead to guilt, shame, and burnout instead of growth. From a therapist’s perspective (with plenty of laughs), we talk about the psychology behind resolution culture and what to do instead if you want real change without hating yourself.

    If January pressure has you spiraling, this one’s for you. 😄🛋️

    👇 Are you making resolutions this year or opting out? Let us know in the comments.

  • Scroll At Your Own Risk - Healthy Habits to Break Your Social Media Spiral
    Dec 4 2025

    In this unhinged-but-educational episode, we stage a prison break from the endless doomscroll spiral. Your favorite therapist-duo dives into why our brains love the dopamine, how the algorithm keeps us locked up without bail, and the surprisingly doable ways to digitally detox with your sanity (mostly) intact. Expect science, sarcasm, and the soft parenting you need to finally put your phone down.
