Text the TLT Pod today.</a>Why does staying in on a Friday night sometimes feel like failure?In this special bonus episode, Dr. Allison Sucamele unpacks the quiet heaviness of the Friday Night Blues—the loneliness, shame, and internalized pressure that can sneak in just when the world tells us we should be “living it up.”We explore: • The psychology behind the contrast effect and FOMO (Gilbert & Wilson, Przybylski) • Why social media makes solitude feel like failure • How anticipation creates a dopamine crash • Cultural scripts about success + being “seen” • Strategies to turn Friday night into a ritual of rest and joy • Neuroscience insights from Dr. Loretta Breuning and Dr. Bessel van der Kolk • How to shift from FOMO to JOMO (joy of missing out)✨ Plus: Journal prompts, grounding tools, self-soothing practices, and a gentle reminder—you are allowed to rest.📬 Want to be featured on the pod?
