Do we own our purchases… or do they own us?

In this episode, we dive headfirst into the tangled world of consumerism. From the dopamine rush of one-click purchases to the hedonic treadmill, we explore how everyday decisions are increasingly shaped by clever marketing, social pressure, and the subtle shift from needs to wants. We reflect on the psychological, financial, and environmental toll of constant consumption, and share practical tips that have helped us pause, rethink, and push back.
