Sense, Sensibility, and Soft Sweaters: A Nostalgic Fall Checklist

This episode explores nostalgia as a form of self-care during unsettled times. Nicole traces 90s revival signs—from fashion and commercials to HGTV remakes—and explains why reaching back to comforting eras matters across generations. She shares personal fall plans: rereading or revisiting beloved fandoms like Twilight (now experiencing Edward’s point of view in Midnight Sun), considering reimagined classics, and other analog hobbies to remind us what we did before doomscrolling. The core idea: familiar stories reduce anxiety, let you savor details, and provide an accessible, soothing escape during a season of change.
