About this episode

This episode explores the culture of overconsumption and the psychology behind our buying habits.

In this episode, we explore the culture of overconsumption and trend-driven spending, unpacking why these small purchases bring us so much joy, and why it can be so hard to stop. Are we simply following trends, or is there something deeper driving our urge to collect and consume? We take a closer look at the psychology behind our buying habits and whether it’s possible to strike a healthier balance in today’s consumer culture.
