A special guest joins us for this episode: Yuxin, Yvette’s friend and dedicated Baldcast listener 😏 We unearth some of our deep-seated issues with criticism and that age-old enemy - compliments. What are our exactly opposite reactions to them? How did our reactions change as we grew up, if at all? And now, how do we give critique when we need to? We might suck at receiving compliments, but don’t be shy - drop us one in the comments if you enjoyed this episode!

Going into your 30s be like ‘nobody actually knows what they’re doing, and we still feel like we’re 25 actually, but we’re expected to know shit’. In this episode, freshly-minted 30-year-old Yvette gets useful tips from Uncle Kenneth: your friends becoming parents, being a boomer on Facebook, pronouncing Din Tai Fung.

Look, everyone faces rejection and failures: life is a process. But how do we deal with them? This week, we discuss failing in school, in relationships, in getting the job we want—and in the eyes of society. Why does Yvette looove stressing herself out? How did Kenneth get over a crush who rejected him? Listen to find out.

What is a chemical engineer? We brought in two of Kenneth’s university friends, Shiu Cheong and Chuan Wei, to share about why we chose chemical engineering in NUS, revisit some of our traumatic experiences of studying too hard, as well as to decide which is better: our school life or our work life?

In this redux episode of work and finding meaning, we are joined by Joanne! With Kenneth’s job change, we now have perspectives from the public, private and non-profit sector. What keeps us going, and how much is enough when it comes to salary? Tune in to find out.
