Send a textIn this episode, we explore the powerful pull of nostalgia and why our memories often paint the past in a softer, rosier light than it really was. From childhood summers that seemed endless to relationships we now view through rose-colored glasses, we break down the psychological and emotional factors that lead us to idealize what’s behind us. You'll learn how selective memory, emotional attachment, and even cultural influences contribute to this phenomenon—and how romanticizing the past can both comfort and hinder us in the present.
