Founded by Angela Lin
Making Psychology Part of Everyday Life
I created Mind in Context because I believe psychology should not remain only in textbooks. It should help us better understand why we think and feel the way we do, navigate relationships, and make sense of everyday experiences.

My Journey
A growing journey of learning, research, service, and sharing psychology with others.
Before 2023 - Personal Curiosity
Psychology first became personal to me. I began reading about anxiety, overthinking, and human behavior because I wanted to better understand my own thoughts and reactions. Over time, that curiosity grew beyond understanding myself- I became interested in how psychological ideas could be made easier for others to understand, too.
