Routine might feel safe, but for your brain, it can become a prison. This week, Dr. Yalda Safai joins Tamsen to talk about the science of novelty and why trying something new is the most powerful way to spark dopamine, reboot your mindset, and shift out of midlife stagnation. 

Tamsen and Dr Safai share dating experience and the benefits of meeting a partner later in life. Plus why women are staying single longer and why we should avoid subpar relationships at all costs! 


We dive deep into what high-functioning depression really looks like in successful women. From the quiet symptoms of anhedonia and mood disorders to undiagnosed thyroid issues and the hormonal shifts of perimenopause. Dr. Safai breaks down the medical, emotional, and social blind spots that keep so many of us suffering in silence.

What you’ll learn; 

  • Why novel experiences are a natural antidepressant
  • The mental health cost of playing it safe and sticking to routine
  • Chronic unhappiness and the silent pain of high-functioning women
  • Anhedonia: the medical term for when nothing feels good anymore
  • How thyroid issues and perimenopause are often misdiagnosed as mood swings
  • Why your second act isn’t about accumulation, it’s about experience
  • The pressure to partner up and how it leads to compromising your worth
  • Why you should never date to fill a void
  • What ghosting really says about emotional maturity
  • How to build self-worth before dating again
