Episode 5 of Attached is LIVE! In this episode, we talk about communicating with family outside of those who live with us. New research led by Dr. Megan N. Reed, at Emory University, and her team recently published a new article titled, “Communication with Kin in the Wake of the COVID-19 Pandemic” in American Sociological Association's journal Socius: Sociological Research for a Dynamic World. With important take-aways for who we communicate with in a crisis!

Episode 3 of Attached is out now! In this episode, we’re doing a Deep Dive into NEW American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry science on how Black moms’ experiences of discrimination and trauma may be linked to their kids’ experiences of depression. Though we know that racism and trauma have profound impacts on maternal mental health, particularly for women who identify as African American, we have understood less how these impacts trickle down to affect children’s wellbeing. This new research on how racism affects moms’ *and* kids’ mental health speaks to how serious and widespread the effects of discrimination are – and, how we must take this seriously if we care about families. We break it all down – and talk about what it may mean for you, our listeners.

Episode 2 is LIVE! And we’re doing a Deep Dive into new UT Austin Human Ecology science on whether income is tied to the quantity or quality of couples’ time together!

Episode 2 is LIVE! And in this episode, we’re doing a Deep Dive on NEW science out of UT Austin Human Ecology exploring how income is tied to couples’ quality and quantity time. Though divorce rates have been stable or declining since the 90s, the marriages of couples living in poverty are at greatest risk of dissolving. Some think that might be because the stress of living without enough income leaks into relationships, taking away from the time those couples get to spend together. While we know that spending time together is *key* to a quality relationship, we *don’t* know how that might look different for couples at different income levels. Well…until now.

Helping our partner understand how we prefer to receive affection may be key to satisfying relationships. But what if our OWN Love Language might actually *get in the way* of providing the kind of affection our partner prefers? The new research we’re discussing in this season's 1st episode helps us think this through -- and, whether science supports pop culture’s new favorite way to talk about love.
