THX Series Hub: Flourishing Families

A THX Series on the Hidden Costs, Emotional Truths, and Policy Realities of Family in America

---

🔍 WHY THIS SERIES

Families are where human experience begins. But in America today, families are under pressure—from economic systems, outdated norms, political agendas, and unspoken expectations. This series asks what it really takes to form, sustain, and sometimes survive family life—and how we can build systems that support flourishing, not just survival.

Using the THX frameworks—12 Utilities, PERMAH, Admiration Equation, Prospect Theory, and Micro-Moments—we explore the decisions people make about marriage, parenting, caregiving, and separation. We also evaluate the policies meant to help—or control—those choices.
