Reality TV: Escape, Therapy, or Toxic?
Is reality TV your go-to way to unwind… or is it quietly stressing you out?
In this podcast episode, we’re breaking down the psychology behind why so many women turn to reality TV during burnout — and whether it’s actually helping or hurting your mental health.
As both viewers and former reality TV cast members, we’re sharing a unique behind-the-scenes perspective on what you’re really watching… and how it impacts you.
We get into the fine line between stress relief and emotional overload, why parasocial relationships feel so real, and how reality TV can shift from harmless entertainment to full-blown escapism.
If you’ve ever said “just one more episode” at midnight, this one’s for you.
