S2 E12: The Psychology of Seasons & How Weather Affects Mental Health

from Only Human · host Jess and Karli

This week, Jess and Karli dive into how seasons and weather impact mental health. They explore how each season shapes their mood, energy, and routines from the high of summer to the slower pace of winter. They also unpack why this happens, touching on everything from our ancestors’ lifestyles to vitamin D, daylight savings, and the concept of "summer break" following us into adulthood.Along the way, they share personal insights on seasonal transitions, and yes, the very important debate of when Christmas decorations come down. If you’ve ever felt like a different version of yourself depending on the season, this episode will make you feel a lot less alone.
