Less Stress, More Fun
·
This podcast was inspired by an average American GenX mom going down a rabbit hole of 80s music videos with her Gen Z kids. It got me thinking about the concept of nostalgia…and what I’ve learned over the years about why our teen years make such an impression on us for life.
In this week’s podcast episode, I talk about:
- The “reminiscence bump”
- How your view of history and the future influence your decision making
- How to use the bumps to bring more fun into your life
Resources mentioned:
- “Why Does the Music From Our Teens Stay With Us Forever?” (Discover Magazine)
- “The reminiscence bump: why America’s greatest year was probably when you were young” (Guardian)
- “Neural Nostalgia: Why do we love the music we heard as teenagers?” (Slate.com)
- “The Mysteriously Memorable 20s: Why do we remember more from young adulthood than from any other time of our lives?” (Slate.com)
- “The Summer I Turned Swiftie” (Vogue)

Relativity of Money
Consider what is a LOT of money to you compared to, “Meh, that’s not that much.” Money can be an emotionally charged topic for us…and yet so much about money is relative to your own perspective and environment.

- Why I consider money to be “relative” (and what that means)
