Episode 4: Staying Together For The Kids?

The Albrecht Authors: No More Secrets

play

10/03/19 • 26 min

Staying together for the kids, no, not the Blink 182 song, although Katie is a big fan. It is the common belief of people who would rather keep a family together than do what's right for all members involved. With divorce becoming more and more common in the past few decades, there have been numerous debates on the negative impact it has on children of the families it affects. In this episode, Mary and Katie discuss the contrary; facing the reality vs the image desired of a healthy family.

10/31/19 • 32 min

What comes to your mind in regards to Halloween traditions? Some people think of trick or treating, dressing up in costumes, or even carving out pumpkins. Then there is the scarier side of it that involves horror movies and ghost stories as well. In this episode, Mary and Katie bring up their childhood traditions, or lack thereof in Mary's case, and the psychological effect of watching scary movies at a young age. They reference the popular John Carpenter character, Michael Myers, and even a Psychology Today article from a few years back to investigate why people willingly bring horror into their lives around Halloween time and their life in general.
