Episode 24 - Are Love Languages a breakthrough, or just astrology for people in relationships? This week on Hyperfixation Time, we dig into what this wildly popular framework gets right, what it oversimplifies, and how it shows up in our real lives. From acts of service to words of affirmation, we talk about how we try to love, how we want to be loved, and why those two things don’t always line up.**FOLLOW US!

Episode 23 - This week, Danny takes us inside her favorite band, AJR. We dive into their history, their unmistakable sound, their ties to theater, and what makes them such ridiculously lovable human beings. From big feelings to bigger hooks, philanthropism to the importance of a trappers' hat, this episode is all about why AJR’s music hits so hard and sticks around in your brain. If you like pop songs with heart, honesty, and a lot of personality, stick around. You might just leave with a new favorite band.
