How To Have an Intellectually Stimulating Summer

from Boy Problems Hosted by Liz Plank

If you've ever spent all of August grieving the end of summer instead of actually living it, this episode is for you. This week on Boy Problems, Liz is breaking down what she calls "end of summer syndrome" — and why we're NOT doing it this year. Liz shares the surprisingly simple, behavioral science-backed habits she used to make this her best (and longest-feeling) summer yet. No reading list, no pilates, no major lifestyle overhauls, just tips and tricks that actually work with your brain - not against it. Subscribe if you're not already, because new episodes drop every week! And if you know someone who's currently mourning the end of the summer, send this to them. It might actually help.
