Food is never just food. It holds memory, emotion, culture, and care — and for many of us, it becomes one of the first ways we learn comfort. In this episode, I explore the psychology behind food as emotional support: why certain meals feel like safety, how cooking regulates the nervous system, and why the kitchen can become a therapeutic space during stress, change, and so much more. Be aware that everyone has a unique relationship with food; therefore, all research and findings impact all individuals differently due to individual differences. Stay informed and stay tuned for more.

Music doesn't just sound good; it makes us feel.

In this episode of PSYCH! I Got You, special guest Tatiana Soboleweska, an associate lecturer at Middlesex University, and I will be discussing music and emotion.

From evoking emotions to drawing up comforting memories, music has many ways of impacting our lives.

With emotional playlists sustaining us or hyping us up in the gym, this episode explores the impact of music on us.
