A new sign lights up the Rabbit Hole Studio, and the conversation goes just as bright and unnervingly honest. We open the door to obsessions—what they are, what they aren’t, and how they can drift from funny quirks into compulsions that hijack agency. With our mother-daughter dynamic and a healthy dose of gallows humor, we trace a path from harmless glue peeling and book hoarding to pica and the uncomfortable corners of human behavior that most shows skim past.
We get specific. You’ll hear clear, plain-language distinctions among passion, obsession, and compulsion, plus real-world examples that make those lines easier to spot.
Some sections may make you squirm— it definitely made Jane question Bobbi's psyche!! But it was all for a good laugh....we think....

If you’ve ever wondered where your own habits sit on the spectrum—quirk, passion, obsession—this is your map.
If the conversation resonates, tap follow, share the episode with a friend who loves psychology and true crime, and leave a quick review. Your feedback helps us keep the lights on—literally—and guides what we explore next.
