Season 4 Ep 8: Hug the One You’re With

Happy New Year! First up, in Poppin’ Culture, we discuss Firefly Lane was recently released starting ​​Katherine Heigl and Sarah Chalke. Next, we do an Academic Deep Dive into new PLOS One research out of Ruhr University Bochum on the benefits of hugging for protecting against our body’s usual response to stress. Last up, we do a Good or Bad Advice rapid fire, and discuss advice on seasonal affective disorder, separate interests for couples, trauma-focused therapy, and a recommendation from Mr. Rogers to love the loving part of yourself.
