#15 ‘The Paul Revere of Taylor Swift's Engagement’ — Late-Summer Chaos & Parasocial Boundaries


Listen Later

We hit record mid-chaos and let it rip. This week, the YH crew reacts to Taylor Swift's engagement headlines, then dive right into why the internet keeps diagnosing everyone. We unpack the difference between boundaries vs. rules thanks to tiktok therapists, share some wins and horror stories (BetterHelp, therapists Googling clients, and that viral psychiatrist saga), and ask where the line is between curiosity and ick.


There’s a guest appearance from Lucia (tiny star, big giggles), plus a quick detour into local politics 101 (why town councils matter more than you think.) We close with seasonal debate on (Team “summer until 9/21” vs. Fall Girlies), Virgo-season cleaning, PMS survival, and Eda’s new favorite word: tidoptimist (chronically late because optimism said “you’ve got time!”).


In this episode:

  • Taylor news & parasocial boundaries

  • Therapy talk done right (and very wrong): “boundary” vs. “rule,” overused labels, OCD/ADHD nuance

  • Ethics check: therapists as fans, Googling clients, and celebrity-adjacent care

  • Local civics, social media, and why showing up matters

  • Fall candles, beach days, and the eternal calendar debate

  • Yaps of the Week: toddler diplomacy, Fashion Week invites, and the tidoptimist saga


Come for the laughs, stay for the unfiltered honesty. 💋
