About this listen
You don’t feel tension because something is wrong with you. You feel it because something inside you is pushing against something outside of you that won’t move.
In this episode of Experience Systems, Steph Fitzgerald explores how impulse and boundaries shape behavior—starting with the original story of Rapunzel and expanding into real-world systems like parks, parking spaces, and thermostats.
What happens when systems deny natural human impulses? Behavior doesn’t disappear—it adapts.
This episode breaks down how pressure, constraint, and design interact—and why understanding that relationship is the key to designing systems that actually work.
