We finally introduce our new cohost, a junior named Amrin who's interested in psychology! In this episode, Lauren and Amrin talk about phone addiction, a problem that is VERY relevant to teens. They discuss the official definition and symptoms of phone addiction, Pokemon Go, and the TikTok algorithm, while sharing their personal experiences with phone use.

Since this was actually one episode split into two parts with part 1 being the first, part 2 will come out in a few days! The second part will cover FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) and advice to reduce phone addiction :)

Hey everyone! Although it's been more than a month since Valentine's Day (which is why you may catch some Valentine's Day references in this episode...), Yusra and Lauren are releasing an earlier recorded episode that discusses the chemicals involved in love, the benefits (and problems) of love, and ways to deal with your feelings of love. They'll then talk about love bombing, a tactic of showing lavish amounts of love that can be manipulative. Hopefully, this episode is coming around prom time <3

NOTE FROM THE COHOSTS: We apologize for not uploading on our biweekly schedule since we've been so caught up with work from our junior year (very unfortunately). Although we won't be able to completely make this up, be sure to look out for more frequently released episodes in the future!
