All of us are on a journey to pursue what is dear to us.

“Are you sure he can support you?” A common question you will encounter if you’re dating someone older. It is a pretty troublesome topic to talk about, especially in our Asian culture. Maybe it could be our family’s judgmental comments or friends who doubt and not support us. So, we rather keep silent than talk about it. In this episode, my good friends Ju En and Angelica, talk about their journey...

Humility is a big subject! If we say we’re not good at something we’re good at, does that make us humble or annoying?

You know what this is! But could we trust the use of online dating? There is such a negative perspective on this, but with the advancement of technology and with the pandemic happening, there are just so many questions. In this episode, it was such a great conversation with Joel Burden, one of my favorite communicators, and we discussed: can this be a healthy, possible option?

“Redefine your friendships!” Yes! You know certain friends in your circle have been causing more harm than good. But you are held back by all the what if’s and years of experience together. Really? Do we need to take the time to look into our friendships? In this episode with Joel Burden, we talk about the influence of a friend and why possibly finding a new one matters.

“Maybe it’s time to renegotiate the terms of our friendship…” Have you ever been in a spot where you were defending your case, your buddy was doing the same thing? You ended the argument with no conclusion, sad, and possibly confused. What’s unfortunate, you lose a friend in that process. In this episode, I am excited to have this honest and open conversation with my friend Joel Burden, senior pas...

Come on babe… Can you please don’t be jealous! A couple of episodes in, I’ve got a couple of DM asking on an interesting question: Can I still be friends with my ex. Some might think it’s a taboo, no questions needed, and some might feel that there’s nothing wrong with it. I enjoy having this conversation with Keith Tay, as we navigate through the complexities of this issue.

I think... Let’s remain friends? It’s neither a question nor statement, a grey area that many of us fall into. Many might believe in an ideal to have a clean breakup... could it be done? In this episode, we have Keith Tay back again, and our conversation explored what is necessary during this painful process.

So now we’re married… it’s our first night together… should we watch it to learn and get some experience? It’s our 10th year anniversary, should we spice things up? After all, watching it together when we’re married shouldn’t be an issue right? In this episode, I just love how open and honest the conversation was with Raditya and Joanna, as we begin to debunk the myth about this topic.

What started as a night of fun, became a living hell for months… should it be that way? It is not an easy journey dealing with pregnancy before marriage.

Growing up, this has been a sentence that I’ve grown used to. It translates: Hey! You Indian! It is a derogatory term that I was taught to just brush it off as a joke. With all that is happening in America, I begin to learn… I can’t ignore it! I can’t stay silent! I have to recognize that statement is wrong, and I shouldn’t be accustomed to it. In this episode, my sister Rachel and I open up and t...

We live in a multi-cultural society, as beautiful as it is, we would encounter traditions that are deemed as taboos. In this episode, we ask Andrew Lau, a teaching pastor at collective and my go-to theologian: can we as Christians still pay our respect to our ancestors? Is it right or wrong or there’s nothing to worry about?

Why is he such a good kisser? I’m sure she’s had better lovers than me! We don’t talk about it out loud, but these are the voices of insecurity that are amplified in our heads. In this episode with Keith Tay, we got really deep with the question: Can we have a healthy and successful relationship after we’ve lost our virginity?

WHO RUN THE WORLD? GIRLS! A line from a famous song. But the question remains, can a girl pursue a guy? Is it strange, if a girl gets the chocolate or flowers for the guy she likes? Or that it’s chivalrous and it is only natural for a guy to start the whole process? In this episode, I had fun talking to Keith Tay about this role reversal.

Can we have tattoos? An age-old topic but there is a huge curiosity about this art till today, especially with Christians. The whole idea for this episode started with that question. In this conversation with Kevin Loo, senior leader and the founder of Collective, we discussed and journeyed into different areas of community taboos and church norms. 

Can we date 2 or more people during the same period? A question that I feel many tend to avoid. Is it confusion caused by the many fishes that are capable, available and fresh? Or is it for the thrill? I got curious and had a conversation with Keith Tay to try and understand why some people would go through this and create a conundrum for themselves. In this episode we asked: So, is it ok? 

Everyone seems to be doing it. It is available anytime! Doesn’t seem like any harm. We have heard how people reason with it, but should we? In this episode, we had a great conversation with Andy Yeoh, an associate pastor from Acts Church who shares his wisdom and personal journey.
