Hiii friends, it’s Estefi — and today Meijun and I are taking you back to the quietest part of our 10-year trip: an 11-day silent meditation retreat. Yep, no phones, no journaling, no makeup, no music… and no talking. We went full monk mode in Chiang Mai, Thailand at Wat Ram Poeng— and let’s just say we learned a lot about ourselves (and each other). So what is Vipassana, anyway? Vipassana means “...

Hi Friends! There was no outline for this episode, I was having a debate with myself as I was getting dressed to go out Friday night and decided to stop and digest some thoughts that have been in my head for a while, I said things without thinking about them twice and decided to not edit a lot of this either. So yes, this is a very vulnerable off-tangent rant on how I am feeling right now with "ev...

I am constantly learning to trust life a little bit more, and the quotes I shared in the episode really shook me so I thought I NEEDED to share them.
