Revenge bedtime procrastination, Y2K nostalgia & therapy speak
Afternoons with Helen Farmer
Tuesday, 12 August 2025 - 1 hour 28 minutes
In today’s episode of Afternoons, Jen Crichton unravels why so many of us delay sleep—staying up late to reclaim “me time.” Is it a nightly rebellion or a sneaky sabotage of our well‑being?
We then dive into the Y2K trend and nostalgia resurgence, exploring how brands and media use memory as a marketing weapon and a bridge to our emotions.
Finally, we examine the rise of therapy‑speak in everyday talk. Words like “gaslighting” and “boundaries” have crossed into casual conversation, but are we using them wisely, or diluting their meaning?
