Media consulting, while only a fraction of my work as a psychologist, has helped me grow and develop so much this year. Disseminating psychological science is accomplished in many ways - Highlighting just a few here as I look back on the year 😍

This week on our podcast, we covered HBO's The Penguin 🐧
It's a gripping and disturbing deep dive into a Batman villain's self-interested, vulnerable narcissism as he ascends the mob underworld of Gotham City.

Writing about Miles Morales deepened my own reflections about thwarted belongingness, not fitting in, the in-betweenness some of us face in our search to matter in our world. I'm grateful I got to write this piece about Spider-Man and his journey to becoming a hero:
