## Resource

July 15, 2026 ~ Lucy Ann Lance is joined by Psychotherapist Frank Rubino for this week's On The Couch! Frank explains why humans are naturally drawn to unnecessary purchases and how consumer culture exploits these psychological triggers. He suggests that impulse buying often stems from a desire to feel better or fulfill perceived needs rather than practical necessity. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
