In today's episode, I share a nostalgic journey that started with my favorite childhood TV show, Little House on the Prairie, and unexpectedly collided with my all-time favorite adult series, thirtysomething. A surprising twist, discovering that the actress who played Laura Ingalls is married to an actor from thirtysomething, sent me down a gentle, heartwarming rabbit hole of memories, actors, interviews, and behind-the-scenes stories.

But this story isn't just about TV shows.

It's about why nostalgia comforts us, what it reveals about who we've become, and how revisiting old stories can actually bring clarity, connection, and emotional grounding.

If you've ever rewatched something from your childhood, looked up old actors, or fallen into a nostalgic spiral that made you feel unexpectedly good… this episode will feel like home.

• Why Little House on the Prairie resonated so deeply during childhood

• How thirtysomething shaped adulthood perspectives and emotional honesty

• The psychological benefits of nostalgia

• Why going down a nostalgic rabbit hole can be surprisingly healing

• How old stories act as mirrors, showing us who we were — and who we are now

• How nostalgia can reconnect you with forgotten strengths, values, and memories

with peace and love always,

Amber
