About this listen

Be honest ...who are you a little too invested in?

This week we’re talking parasocial relationships: the fine line between harmless admiration and… let’s say, concerning attachment. Social media has made access to celebrities and influencers feel intimate, immediate, and constant. We’re questioning whether having a parasocial relationship is basically unavoidable now.

We get into why we’re so quick to judge public figures, why we assume money and fame erase real problems, and what makes us feel so entitled to every detail of someone’s life. Do we actually know these people , or just the curated highlight reel they’ve chosen to share?

If you’ve ever defended, dragged, obsessed over, or felt personally connected to someone who has no idea you exist… this one’s for you.
