I Wonder is the expression of that voice in your head that keeps asking the strangest of questions, keeps finding new rabbit holes to obsess over, and never seizes to wonder at the world in which it finds itself.
Now, all you need to know about what this podcast is, is that the verb “wonder” has 2 meanings. According to the dictionary, to wonder means:

B) To be in a state of wonder

How to build connection - a science based guide to platonic and romantic relationships
Episode 89
As the Day of Love approaches, a lot of us think about the relationships in our lives but, the people we love should not occupy our minds only on Valentine’s Day. Our closest personal relationships have the potential to inspire, motivate, and make our lives deeply meaningful. However, if we don’t put conscious effort into build healthy connection with the right people, we can end up drained, tired and hurt. So in this episode we dive deep into psychology research on how people fall in love - romantically and platonically - and how to make these relationships more nurturing for both sides.
