About this episode

In this minisode, Dr. Joy discusses recent pop culture moments through a mental health lens.

Welcome back to our minisode series, "I Have Some Thoughts." These short episodes are designed to contextualize the pop culture moments we're currently paying attention to through a mental health lens. Pop culture isn't just fun to chat about, it can reveal important information about how we relate, cope, and understand ourselves. Join us each Friday to hear Dr. Joy share her thoughts about the happenings of the week.  This week, we're chatting about Jay-Z & Blue Ivy, Nolan Wells, and the Love Island Finale.    Stay Connected ​ Wanna chat more about the pop culture hot topics of the week?
