    EP 21 - Confidence Confidantes

    Send us a textHey Flexy Fam, Here's to the last Friday of the year! It's been a tiiiiiime, and lots has happened from early discussions about 'no new friends', evolving to discussions about now making new friendships, and a chat between us on how we manage feelings of hurt or loss of confidence between one another.

    EP 20 - Letter to My 18-Year Old Self

    Send us a textHello Flex Fam, This week we catch up on a few weeks of not seeing each other, and we talk about the importance of a supportive circle, especially when one is a foreigner in a place without family. In discussing our topic of the day, A Letter to My 18-Year Old Self, we once again reminisce on our college days and really delve into the women we recall we were at 18. What advice would we give her? What would we want to ask her? How do we see her, looking back many d...

    EP 19 - Role Call

    Send us a textHey Flex Fam, Good to be back after a week off!

    EP 17 - 'NO.' A Complete Sentence

    Send us a textHello Flexy Fam, This week we reminisce on a few high school memories and give some well-deserved credit to Gen-Z and their ability to 'just say no' to things that don't align with them -- leading us into our topic for the day: just saying no. We also discuss some of the reasons saying 'no' can be difficult, including the need to people-please, pressure to maintain imbalanced friendships, or the need to be simply...needed. Enjoy!Follow us on Instagram:@flexandthec...
