The decision to have kids or not can be one of the most pivotal choices we make in life. And if you do have kids, ensuring they grow up healthy and happy is something all parents want. But how to do it best? This week, we're chatting with Brenda Yuen as she takes us on her personal journey to choosing a childfree life. And yet, as an early years educator, Brenda's work life is full of chil...

Do you have a cleaning schedule? Or know what to do if the toilet starts overflowing? What about if you punch a hole in the wall in a moment of rage and need to patch it up? This week, David and Ge take an online adulting quiz to figure out if they’re on top of this whole adulting thing or if they’re hanging on for dear life. Bonus: find out why we are both scarred by lawnmowers.

We launched our podcast seven weeks ago, and if you're still listening, we figure you may want to know a bit more about your hosts, Ge and David! But instead of interviewing each other, we brought on our friend Olivia. And boy did Olivia put us on the spot with some hard hitting questions. Join us this week as Ge talks about her poor first impression of David, and how living on cement has been...

How often do you visit or call your mom? What are the joys and challenges in travelling with parents? And why is David considering going on a honeymoon with his mom in Bali? In our 30s, our relationship with our parents starts to shift. Instead of our parents taking care of us, we often find ourselves taking care of them. Join us this week as we try to unpack our baggage with our parents. Have a f...

Many of us want to work hard and play hard, but it's not easy as we enter our 30s to keep that momentum going.

Learn how Audrey gets chores done during her 9-10am lunch hour, intentionally schedules time for both her fami...

Ge wakes up every day at 4:30am. How does she do it, and what does she do with all that time? This week, Ge and David talk all about their morning routines and what they do to set themselves up for a great day. Whether it's meditating at Kits Beach (kinda), swishing oil in your mouth, popping too many pills, or (not) swimming in the dark, morning routines can be a lot of fun. Best of all, you can...

This week, Ge and David talk about trying new sports and discuss why everyone seems to be taking up running. David shares his commendable attempt to buy flowers at the 11th hour on Valentine’s Day (not cliché at all) and our mixed feelings about the holiday. Another topic of mixed feelings is Netflix, as we dive into our current faves and rant about the new restrictions. We cap the episode off by...

2023 has been like a series of unfortunate events for Ge. Join us this week as she talks about her apartment being flooded and why she may never eat shellfish again. David discusses the new Canadian guidelines around drinking and why they're ineffective. We wrap up with our recent workout experiences and David explains why he can be heard screaming in the shower every morning.

In this episode, we discuss our noteworthy reads of 2022, the idea of instant vs delayed gratification, and money management in your 30s. David challenges Ge's love for new years resolutions by quizzing her on what Canadians are thinking about in their resolutions. We then talk about our own goals and what we're looking forward to in 2023 (spoiler: making this podcast!)

Welcome to the first ever episode of That 30s Show! We tell you a bit about what we hope to do with this podcast, and then start diving into what turning 30 means for us, and how we feel your 30s differ from your 20s. We also reflect on 2022, including Ge's vacation to Europe, and her experiences going down unproductive spirals (and whether our generation's need to be busy all the time is even a g...
