Live From The Wish House!

 What makes nostalgia so attractive? It's more than just memories and glory-day stories. Cris takes a deeper look at why we're drawn to the past and shares some Cris-losophy on how nostalgia can actually work for you. #Nostalgia #Memories #PersonalGrowth #Mindset #LifeLessons #CrisLosophy #Podcast 

In the words of Carole King, "Where you lead, I will follow" sounds like the perfect sentiment for parenting—but who’s really the leader and who’s the follower? Cris explores new ideas about guiding our kids to become their most authentic selves and discovers that sometimes, it's the kids who lead the way. #Parenting #RaisingKids #Family #Authenticity #LifeLessons #Podcast

We live in an age where everyone is just a notification away. Texts, emails, DMs, alerts, group chats — we are constantly connected, constantly reachable, and constantly expected to respond.

But is all this instant communication actually making our lives better? Or are we creating a new kind of stress by feeling like we have to be available all the time?

In this episode, Cris explores the anxiety of constant communication and wonders whether life might have been better when communication was slower, simpler, and less demanding.

Are we more connected than ever — or just more overwhelmed?

What if everything that happens in life—even the hard things—is ultimately leading us toward something better? In this episode, Cris shares the "Cris-losophies" that have helped her navigate life's challenges, let go of control, and trust the journey. 

Discover what happens when we stop fighting what life places in front of us, look for the lessons, and believe that everything is happening for our highest good. Sometimes letting go of control is exactly what allows us to create a life we truly love.

If you want to kick control to the curb, you need to embrace the power of choice. Choice is where freedom lives, and it can be the key to letting go of fear, worry, and anxiety. 

Cris shares how learning to accept what life places in front of us—and choosing to find the lessons instead of getting stuck in the angst—changed the way she sees life. Do you know how to tap into your own power of choice? Let's find out how making a different choice can help set you free.

 Why does the idea of control feel so comforting, yet trying to control everything can leave us feeling anxious, frustrated, and exhausted? In this episode, Cris explores our complicated relationship with control and why the desire to hold on tightly can sometimes create the very fear and stress we're trying to escape. Is your need for control keeping you from growing? Is it affecting your relationships, your happiness, or the way you experience everyday life? And how do you know when being in control has crossed the line into being controlling? Let's take a closer look at the illusion of control, the fears behind it, and what might happen when we finally learn to let go.

Watching the celebration spread across New York and beyond, I was struck by the overwhelming sense of unity, joy, and connection that seemed to ripple through millions of people at once. It wasn't just about winning a game—it was about belonging to something larger than ourselves.

Sociologists have a name for this phenomenon: Collective Effervescence.

In this episode, I explore why moments of shared excitement and emotion feel so powerful, what they reveal about our deep human need for connection, and why so many of us seem to be searching for that feeling in an increasingly isolated world.

From sports championships and concerts to religious gatherings and community events, collective effervescence reminds us that we're wired to come together. The question is: how can we bring more of that connection into our everyday lives?

Join me as we unpack the psychology, sociology, and human longing behind one of the most powerful experiences we can share.

Why is everyone suddenly obsessed with the 1990s again?

Maybe it’s not the decade itself that people miss… maybe it’s the feeling of life before smartphones, social media, constant notifications, and digital overload.

In this episode, we talk about why 90s nostalgia hits so deeply today and what it says about modern life. From being present in the moment to growing up without algorithms controlling attention, there was something fundamentally different about how people experienced life.

Are we actually nostalgic for the 90s…
or are we grieving a slower, more human way of living?


Topics covered:
• 1990s nostalgia
• life before social media
• smartphone culture
• digital overload
• why modern life feels exhausting
• internet and attention spans
• simpler times
• authenticity and connection
• technology and society

This is a conversation about culture, technology, memory, and what we may have lost along the way.

Are we actually enjoying life anymore — or just documenting it for validation?

In this episode, we dive into the hidden ways social media has changed our behavior, relationships, happiness, attention spans, and even our sense of identity.

From posting vacations and birthdays to constantly feeling “perceived,” we explore the pressure to turn real life into content and why so many people struggle to simply be present.

Topics covered:
• social media addiction
• validation and attention
• authenticity online
• living in the moment
• posting culture
• internet culture and mental health
• why everything feels performative

If you’ve ever felt pressure to post your life, prove your happiness, or constantly be “on,” this conversation is for you.
