On this episode of Wellspring, we take a deep dive into the world of memory- particularly positive, warm, fuzzy memory- and how to use nostalgia as an asset in your wellness journey. We're talking about what nostalgia really is, what it can do for your mental health, and how disentangling the complicated emotions around remembering the past can help you continue your own personal narrative. We also discuss Matt's love for Disney World and Star Wars and Adithi's passion for old Hindi songs!
