About this listen

2016 is gone it’s 2026 now. So why are you posting pictures from 10 years ago all over your social media?

If you’ve been scrolling through Instagram, TikTok, or Facebook lately, you’ve probably noticed the trend: people everywhere are sharing glimpses of their lives from 2016. Old selfies, throwback moments, memories from a decade ago flooding our feeds. But this isn’t just nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake there’s something deeper happening here.

In this episode, we dive into why 2016 is suddenly feeling safer, simpler, and more comforting compared to the world we’re living in today. We explore three major shifts that have left many of us longing for the past: the evolution of social media and how it’s changed the way we connect, the dramatic shifts in our political climate over the last decade, and the ongoing conversations around immigration that have reshaped our national discourse.

But we’re not just here to reminisce. We’re also asking the hard questions: How do we navigate our emotions in the 2026 climate? How do we hold space for nostalgia while still moving forward? And what can we learn from looking back?

Join us as we unpack why the past feels so appealing right now—and what it says about where we are today.
