We dive deep into the psychology of FOMO, exploring why we feel it, how it impacts our mental health, and whether we're actually missing out or just falling for an illusion fueled by social media. This conversation reveals universal truths about our desire to keep up with others while questioning the need to compare ourselves at all.

• FOMO represents an emotional cocktail of envy, regret, and self-doubt often triggered by social media
• The joy of missing out (JOMO) involves learning to be content with your choices rather than constantly comparing
• Social media significantly amplifies FOMO, leading many to curate their feeds to protect mental health
• FOBO (fear of better options) keeps people from committing to plans while waiting for something better
• Teen and young adult FOMO differs from adult FOMO but stems from the same desire to be included
• Personal FOMO triggers include vacation envy, parenting comparisons, and body image insecurities
• Most of what we think we're missing isn't actually that amazing - our perception is often distorted

Bring your feelings. We’ll bring ours.

We take a deep dive into regrets that have shaped our lives, exploring the moments that haunt us and the lessons they've taught us along the way. From financial missteps to spending too much time on other people, we share personal stories about the experiences we wish we could do over.

• Weekly What If: Could you erase one moment in your life if you'd lose all the lessons from it?
• Financial regrets and the power of teaching the next generation to start saving early
• The cost of caring too much about what others think and spending years seeking validation
• Friendships we held onto too long versus ones we wish we hadn't let go
• The science behind gut feelings and why our bodies know the right choice before our minds do
• This or That: Would you rather regret posting something or not posting when you had the chance?
• Hot takes on regrets including "People who say they have no regrets are lying or insufferable"

Tell us about your biggest regret, or something you didn't mind doing but the consequences were worse than expected. We want the real talk - that's why we're doing this podcast. Zero chill.
