Are We Happy Yet?

By: Hannah Buzzo and Jane Thatcher Hahn
  • Summary

  • Through their work as therapists, and the statistics backing up what they saw in their offices (more Americans are reporting feeling less life satisfaction and happiness each year), Hannah and Jane started to uncover the impact of larger factors - things like creativity, politics, technology, food, culture, work, and spirituality on mental health, relationships and wellbeing. Hannah and Jane are passionate about bringing nuanced, real, and humorous conversations about these topics to more people, for free.

  • Ep. 22: What is attachment theory and how does it shape our lives + relationships? with Sam Tramuta
    Feb 11 2025

    In this episode, Jane and Hannah are joined by Sam Tramuta, attachment and addiction expert, to explore the complexities of attachment theory and its profound influence on relationships and mental health. They discuss the different attachment styles—secure, anxious, avoidant, and fearful—and how early relationships shape adult behavior. The conversation highlights innovative therapeutic approaches, including corrective experiences and psychedelic-assisted therapy, that can help individuals break free from negative attachment patterns and heal emotional wounds.

    This discussion helps connect the dots between attachment and addiction, while also covering the power of emotional vulnerability, and how vulnerability can foster greater self-worth and healthier interpersonal dynamics. Tune in for insights on the transformative role of therapy in emotional healing and relationship growth.

  • Ep. 21: What is the ripple effect of tragedy? We talk to Heather Dearman about the real impact of the 2012 Aurora Theater Mass Shooting
    Feb 4 2025

    In this deeply moving episode, Heather Dearman, Executive Director of the 720 Foundation, shares her personal and professional insights into the profound aftermath of the 2012 Aurora theater shooting. With a focus on healing, community support, and the long-lasting effects of trauma, Heather opens up about her own connections to the tragedy and the critical role of the 720 Foundation in memorializing the victims and supporting the survivors. The conversation explores the ripple effect of mass shootings, emphasizing the importance of remembering the victims and their families, rather than sensationalizing the perpetrators.

    The episode also delves into the complexities of grief and family dynamics, as different family members cope in unique ways. Heather sheds light on the challenges of navigating these differences while fostering an environment of compassion and understanding. The media’s often one-sided portrayal of mass shootings is critically examined, and Heather underscores the importance of creating safe spaces for families to heal and share their stories. The work of the 720 Foundation, through memorials, community outreach, and fundraising efforts, serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of collective healing and support in the face of tragedy. As Heather shares, "Trauma is not a competition," each person’s grief is valid, and the need for continued remembrance and unity is ever more urgent.

    During the month of February 2025, we are supporting Heather's foundation: the 720 Memorial Foundation.
