Welcome back to another episode of the Hella Chisme Podcast. 

Long story short, my therapist said I’m Stressed, The VMAs said I’m old, and Dr. Marcus said “Communicate Better”

Pop culture sets the stage, but the heart of this episode is connection you can feel. After a quick VMAs rundown, Mariah’s Vanguard moment, Doja’s 80s pop snap, and choreography that actually hits, we pivot into the messy, meaningful work of how people find each other, keep each other, and sometimes lose each other. Dr. Marcus Shepherd, a tenured professor of communication and host of Off the Data Provided, joins us to map the gap between casual contact and real closeness, and how to close it without losing yourself.
