Friends fight, and we did too. The conversation becomes uncomfortable, emotions are flowing everywhere, and in the heat of the moment, it seems like this could be the end of what you thought was a lasting friendship. So how do you determine whether the friendship is worth pursuing? Can you even recover from a fight? This week, we talk about the fight we had, what led up to it, how it happened, and...

We’re often told to find ourselves - like we are some lost wandering soul that if found, will make us feel complete and give us a sense of self. This concept has been so drilled into our heads, that we start feel like a shell, incomplete because it feels like part of us is missing and we have to go out to find it. But what if we took a different approach - instead of searching for the missing piec...

"College are the best years of your life," they said, "It'll be fun," they said. Whether you're prepping for college or done with college, I think we can all agree that those 4 years are a pretty significant chapter in our lives. Through the tests, parties, new friends, we come out the other side as a new person. We spend years, tears, and sweat prepping for college, but what happens when we actua...

Are we Asian? Are we American? Growing up, we are taught many things about ourselves that start to create the foundation of who we become. Add cultural differences and some underrepresentation, and you have some pretty confused Asian American kids with no reference of how to manage the colliding cultures. We want to make our Asian parents proud, but when their lessons and traits start to conflict...

There are a lot of things in life that don't make sense - jobs that we wanted but never got, relationships that we thought would be our forevers but didn't last, opportunities that we were so sure were right for us but ended up being another disappointment to add to our list. We go through life, dot by dot, attempting to achieve success and happiness - but during the process, we slowly begin to re...

A child’s relationship with his/her mom can be complicated. We have this ideal image of a mother is one who should ALWAYS provide nurture, care, and unconditional love, but sometimes, this just isn't our reality. As first generation Asian Americans, our relationships with our moms face extra obstacles such as language and cultural barriers, which can make being open and honest with each other extr...

No one likes to talk about being cheated on or cheating on someone. When the foundation of any relationship is trust and that trust is broken through cheating, lies, broken promises, and crossed boundaries (again and again and again), what the EFF do we do? We want to dive into the heartbreak as well as the consequences of being cheated on, lied to, and how we can learn to build ourselves back up...

We’re too often told to stay positive! Think happy thoughts! Don’t dwell in the negative! And while this can be great advice to help deal with life's woes, how do we approach it authentically so that resentment and anger don't take over? In many aspects of our lives, we suppress a lot of feelings and emotions in order to move on and "be positive". Sometimes it’s for survival, other times it become...

Working in corporate gets a bad rep, while pursuing the creative path can be glorified.

But, hey we've been there. The world makes you feel incomplete and devalued as a person when you're "single," but we can hones...

Navigating in an extroverted world as an introvert can be exhausting. Others perceive introverts as shy, antisocial, weird, or even socially awkward is typically untrue. So what is it really like living inside the mind of an introvert? What are they really thinking... about themselves, others, and the world around them? After listening to this episode, you may realize that you got a bit of introve...

As first generation Asian Americans, we understand the sacrifices our parents have made in order for us to have the opportunities we are blessed with today. We grow up in a society that they are unfamiliar with but we must abide by traditions we are unfamiliar with. This contrasting reality leads to many unanswered questions and leave us feeling the need to sacrifice our passions to fulfill our pa...

Our comedic soul sister Amy Okuda joins us this week to talk about confidence. The three of us may come off as confident women on the outside, but do we actually feel as confident as we look? Most people encourage the idea of faking it till you make it but how do you do that when it makes you feel like a fraud? We answer all types of questions about confidence such as where does ours come from? Wh...

We become terrified that the p...
