Green Room 002: Our Hyperfixation Rollercoaster | Aversion, Obsession, and Everything In Between

We’re back for the second installment of The Green Room, our series where we bring you behind the scenes, and tell you what we’re hyper-fixated on, curious about, and everything we crave talking about. It's loose, it’s fun, and if you listened to Good 4U, well, it's kind of like that.

Join Michelle and Katie as they explore the elusive journey from intense fixation to sudden aversion–with well anything from snacks to routines. We share our current obsessions, for Katie, a snack she loved but is not repulsed by. And Michelle's current hyper-fixations include everything from washi tape to energy drinks, to mushroom gummies to a classic soap. Come hang out in the 12th House Green Room to hear us gush over everything from Grocery Outlet shopping adventures to the placebo effect.

Key Takeaways:

  • When hyper-fixations evolve into repulsion, where something once loved becomes overwhelming.

  • Why our brains love lists.

  • The placebo effect holds real value.

  • Recommendations galore, what we’re loving and eager to try and what’s haunting our carts.
