Priority Messages: The Podcast
Welcome to The Priority Messages Podcast, where each week, we tackle a "mental health adjacent" topic, sprinkle in a little science, add in a side of bad jokes and sarcasm, and serve it all up as food for thought. From discussions about breaking cycles of generational trauma and how to improve your emotional intelligence, to learning how your brain forms memories and how to master the art of forgiveness, our aim is to help you understand yourself - and why you might do some of the things you do - a little better. Consider it a little dose of therapy...without the co-pay.
Hosted by the creator of the Priority Messages YouTube channel, a new podcast episode is uploaded every Sunday. Make it a "priority" to join us every week and tune in!

Episode 4: Why We Romanticize the Past
In this episode, we explore the powerful pull of nostalgia and why our memories often paint the past in a softer, rosier light than it really was. From childhood summers that seemed endless to relationships we now view through rose-colored glasses, we break down the psychological and emotional factors that lead us to idealize what’s behind us. You'll learn how selective memory, emotional attachment, and even cultural influences contribute to this phenomenon—and how romanticizing the past can both comfort and hinder us in the present. Tune in to discover how to honor your memories without getting stuck in them.
Thanks for listening!
