Happy New Year, everyone.

It's Dr. Niagara again with the next episode of Psychology Unplugged.

This episode marks our one-year anniversary since starting a podcast.

And I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank my late father, who really gave me the inspiration to do something in this medium,

I guess, and also my mother, who raised me with tenacity and instilled a sense of going on the world and trying to change it for

that we have, the suggestions, the comments are wonderful.

but it's really a time of self-reflection.
