Ep. 52: How Nostalgia Helps Us Cope with Stress

Listen Later

Nostalgia is powerful – and it turns out, experiencing it regularly can boost our mental health, especially during difficult times. In this episode, we share:

  • Our own experiences with leaning into nostalgia this past year (hello, ‘90s jams, TV show revivals, and fave childhood books!)
  • Research about nostalgia’s many benefits – like counteracting loneliness, boredom, anxiety and meaninglessness, and promoting healthy coping strategies and feelings of belonging
  • A few tips for intentionally incorporating more nostalgia into your day-to-day life
