This week, we're joined by Dr. Robyn Koslowitz, Ph.D.—licensed school and clinical psychologist, author, and expert in what really drives our behavior. From the emotional power behind trending obsessions like Labubu dolls and Stanley cups to the psychology of blind boxes and dopamine loops, Dr. Koslowitz unpacks it all.

We get into why everyone’s captivated by the Coldplay jumbotron affair (yes, there’s science behind it), why she never posts her kids on social media, and the double-edged sword that is “ParentTok.” She also introduces us to fascinating concepts like time confetti vs. time ribbons—and how they affect your mental health.

Drawing from her powerful book Post Traumatic Parenting, we explore the “trauma app,” pandemic burnout, comparison culture, and how to start healing your inner child.
