Well wonder no more because it turns out, as Garet tells us - ABSOLUTELY but we have to make a game out of it because of COURSE we do.

3w ago01:13:55Tap to summarizeWhat is it about trash TV and our favorite "comfort shows" that keeps us coming back for more? Even though we recorded this episode in the first week of February, it has become even more relevant in the weeks since then - which, probably isn't a great sign, overall...Anyway, this week the gals dive into the brain science behind our comfort shows and why it's actually a good thing you know every line in Schitts Creek by heart!

Transcribe →E124: The Great Weaning of 2026
Apr 1200:45:43Tap to summarizeGive us a break, we recorded this in early February and we were struggling through the annual Frigid Freakout. We also review the different ADHD struggles and habits we've been indulging in before getting into this week's topic - how your native language shapes the neural pathways your brain creates, and what that can mean for your adaptability later in life. In a recent study comparing the brains of German-language native speakers with Arabic-language native speakers, scientists found significant differences. What could this mean for understanding how our brains work?

Mar 2901:27:03Tap to summarizeStrap in because this week we learn about the time Katie cried in therapy and what caused it. It's called IFS - Internal Family Systems, and is a therapeutic method originally developed to help patients dealing with Dissociative Identity Disorder (formerly known as multiple personality disorder), but there has also been clinical success in treating folks with PTSD and unresolved childhood trauma. Do you think it would work for you? You might as well try it, because the Bar is Ankle High.

Mar 1501:01:55Tap to summarizeThis week the gals dive into new research that is identifying autism spectrum disorder subtypes - and just a reminder - Katie called it during our first episodes that one day, ADHD will be considered part of ASD.
