    • Carrie, Miranda and The Cost of Centering Men
      Feb 2 2026

      In this episode of Character Analysis, I’m kicking off my Then & Now series by revisiting one of the most iconic arguments in pop-culture history: the Carrie vs. Miranda fight from Sex and the City.

      Back then, I sided with Carrie Bradshaw — the hopeless romantic caught in the emotional chaos of Mr. Big. Watching it now, with a lot more life experience and a lot less tolerance for breadcrumbs, I finally understand Miranda Hobbs.

      This episode breaks down how centering men shaped an entire generation of women, why Carrie was such a product of her time, and why Miranda’s refusal to do that felt intimidating in the late ’90s. We talk about friendship boundaries, shame, judgment, unhealed trauma, dopamine chasing, and what it really means when a friend tells you the truth before you’re ready to hear it.

      It’s not just a fight about Big — it’s about growth, self-worth, and the moment you realize you’ve outgrown both a relationship and the version of yourself who once defended it.

    • The Carrie Bradshaw Effect: Why Danielle Walter's Smug Love Docuseries Flopped
      Jan 16 2026

      Some people sabotage relationships by pushing people away. Others sabotage relationships by turning their love lives into content.

      In this episode of Character Analysis, I take a deep dive into dating influencer Danielle Walter and why her smug 21-part relationship docu-series made her a viral punch line.

    • Narcissist. Psychopath. Sadist - The True Crime Trifecta
      Dec 19 2025
      Narcissist. Psychopath. Sadist.These labels explode every time a case like Bryan Kohberger’s hits the headlines — but do any of them actually mean something in a courtroom?In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Ziv E. Cohen, a forensic psychiatrist, to unpack how mental-health defenses really work, including what Luigi Mangione’s potential mental-health defenses might look like — and where they fall apart. We spend significant time on Bryan Kohberger, digging into the role of sadism, fantasy, control, and narcissistic traits, and why those patterns matter when people are searching for motive. We also pull comparisons to Bundy and BTK, exploring why the same psychological questions resurface across cases.⌚Timestamp Breakdown01:22 – 03:12How forensic psychiatry works: profiling, ethics, pattern recognition. 03:12 – 07:56Luigi Mangione case: deliberate violence, psychopathy vs sadism, why impulse and psychosis don’t fit. 07:56 – 11:59Psychosis, manifestos, grandiosity, and how writings factor into mental health defenses. 11:59 – 17:53Extreme Emotional Disturbance, insanity defenses, and why Luigi’s legal options are limited. 17:53 – 23:14Brian Kohberger: motive-less violence, criminology obsession, and psychopathy frameworks. 23:14 – 29:45Fan culture, hybristophilia, narcissism, control, and psychological sadism. 29:45 – 36:45Fear, power, sexual sadism, and why Idaho looks different from Luigi’s case. 36:45 – 39:56Final reflections, why “why” may be unknowable, bonus episode + wrap-up.Dr. Ziv E. Cohen, M.D., is a psychiatrist and the CEO of Principium Psychiatry, a leading national mental health organization with offices in New York, Connecticut, California, and Florida. Principium’s multidisciplinary team of psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, psychologists, and therapists provides comprehensive treatment across the full continuum of care, from psychotherapy and medication management to advanced interventional and forensic services. Under Dr. Cohen’s leadership, Principium has become known for integrating cutting-edge therapies such as TMS, ketamine and Spravato treatments, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, ECT, and IOP programs, while also expanding its expertise into civil and criminal forensic evaluations.YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@zivcohen5150Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/principiumpsychiatry/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@principiumpsychiatryMIND MATTERSI’ve been testing out various products, journals, and self-care habits that I plan on sharing with listeners (and readers.) ⁠⁠⁠⁠My Amazon Storefront ⁠⁠⁠⁠highlights my favorite products for mental health, journaling, beauty, self-care, and ADHD support—tools I personally use and recommend to help make everyday life a little calmer, more focused, and more intentional.
