Is Any Job Better than Not Having a Job?

We’ve all heard the advice that any job is better than no job, but is that really true? In this episode, I discussed a study by Chandola and Zhang (2018) titled “Re-employment, job quality, health, and allostatic load biomarkers: prospective evidence from the UK Household Longitudinal Study” that followed unemployed adults to see how different types of jobs impact health. I broke down what the researchers found, why poor-quality jobs might be worse for your health, than staying unemployed, and what it means for those facing tough job decisions. Image by Freepik

Is Once a Cheater Always a Cheater True?

Ever wondered if someone who cheats once is more likely to do it again? We’ve all heard the saying, but is there any truth to it? In this episode, I talked about an interesting study by Knopp et al.

I’ll break down the research, spill the tea on the results, and talk about what it all means for relationships. Image by PCH.vector/Shutter Stock
