WHAT THE FUPDATE: Hikikomori
In this week’s FUPDATE, we’re digging into a severe form of social withdrawal that the Japanese are calling Hikikomori. The term, mostly used to characterize adolescents and young adults, describes folks so withdrawn that they may become recluses in their parents' homes, not even engaging with the family they live with. Certainly there is big COVID energy around this, but there are also generational divides being highlighted… kind of like that time someone said millennials could buy a home if they just stopped buying all this avocado toast.

Neuroplasticity: Science’s Attempt to Manifest
This week on our SZN 10 PREMIERE (!), we’re looking to dust off the copy of The Secret we bought in 2005 as we talk Neuroplasticity and it’s *proximity* to manifesting. With all these TikTok’s saying that we can call our fate to us, we ask about the psychology behind faking it ‘til making it. Does envisioning the life you dream of or even going as far to live parts of it, actually affect your brain? We’ll get into it… so shut up, we’re manifesting!

Left Behind: Recapping the Rapture
This week on the SZN FINALE (!) of the podcast, we’re watched the 2000 Christian cult classic, Running Out of Time, so you don’t have to. Based on a best selling 1990s novel, this story is full of loose ends and Christian propaganda that we truly cannot wait to share as we follow out protagonist played by Kirk Cameron, of Growing Pains fame, through a sudden spiritual awakening. Buckle up because the rapture is predictably unpredictable as portrayed during peak Y2K.

Super fun pod!
OMG listening to the secrets ep. ...about a month ago I suddenly had like, 12 house flies in my apt. by the window! No idea where they came from or why, thought it might be the apocalypse. But they all died and no more came... so.. I guess this just happens sometimes? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
