  1. 82. Buying a property 101: my experience becoming a first-time homeowner & landlord in Toronto

    7 SEPT

    82. Buying a property 101: my experience becoming a first-time homeowner & landlord in Toronto

    If buying a home is in your twenties bucket list, this episode is for you! I went through the massive journey (and commitment) of buying my first condo, becoming a homeowner, and now landlord in Toronto — and spill all the deets in this highly requested episode. Let's talk financing and preapprovals, condo shopping, closing, moving in, finding tenants, and SO much more; not to mention the decision behind buying in the first place, emotional turbulence faced in the process, and any + ALL things to consider to ensure you're making an *INFORMED* choice! Because if done right, this can set you up for a good chunk of your life (but if done carelessly, it can do the opposite). This isn't professional advice, but rather, an unfiltered glimpse into my personal experience and what I'd tell my friends — ultimately, do your own due diligence, and don't forget to enjoy the process. It's one of the most rewarding experiences in your adult life. --- ⊹ LINKS ⊹ ❤ Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠megkuang.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 💌 Newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Meg Mondays⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🧠 Reads & Listens: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠megkuang.com/brainfood⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🌻 Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@megkuang⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@musings.with.meg⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ --- ♡ SUPPORT ♡ Leave me a rating/review ★★★★★ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Become a paid subscriber⁠

    81. Moving cities in your twenties: adjusting to change, managing emotions, & choosing gratitude

    Change seems to be the only constant in our twenties — and moving between cities is one of the best ways to shake things up! Whether transitioning from independence to moving back home, or taking the leap across the country, it's undeniable how much your physical location shapes your life and self-concept. How do you create a new sense of "home" somewhere unfamiliar? Cope with feelings of nostalgia and sadness with leaving your old life behind? Is there a "right place" to be in your twenties, or is the grass really just greener where you water it? Join Emilie and I in a conversation reflecting on our personal moves in our twenties: our decision making processes, the emotional ride, and how we're choosing intentionality in creating the lives we want, exactly where we are. --- This episode features Emilie Villaverde.

    80. How to live a happy life: advice for your 20s on comparison, boundaries, unlearning, authenticity, & more

    Keeping up with the Joneses. Shedding energy vampires. Learning and unlearning. Growing from pain. The hedonic treadmill. Honouring your inner child. Searching for your own truth amidst chaos. How do you shed all the bullsh*t and live life on your own terms? Leave the comparison trap, minimize regret, and pursue a life true to you and only you? Our twenties are a strange time — trials and tribulations, recalibrations, and constantly feeling "behind" — but what if it's all in your head? And if you take control over your mindset, can your twenties be one of the most beautiful decades of your life? ABSOLUTELY. There's nothing quite like advice from someone who's lived through it. That's why in this episode, I chat with Emma; thriving at peace in her 30s now after a turbulent 20s decade, we share a soul-to-soul chat on life lessons, hardships, realizations, and regrets. This episode is guaranteed to leave you with something deep to think about and apply to your life today, no matter the stage of your journey — you'll want to take notes! A happy life may just be a few mindset shifts away. --- This episode features Emma Fleming.

    79. How to shoot your shot, date with confidence, & attract only those meant for you

    How do we shield our self-worth from rejections? Can girls ask guys out? Is attraction subjective? How do we stop taking things personally? "Just shoot your shot!" they say, but we know it's never just that easy — you need a mindset of steel to chase romantic pursuits without shame. In this episode, let's talk about that mindset. Alison is the QUEEN of unshakeable confidence in "shooting her shot" and radiating authenticity in every interaction. Tune in for big sister advice on asking people out, the nuances of attraction, reframing rejection, the value of communication and honesty, and finally, how to DATE with confidence so you don't live at the crutch of "what if"s. This is a conversation I know I NEEDED. I hope it gives you that extra boost to take the romantic risk, for it just might change your life. --- This episode features Alison Han, also in episode 77!

    78. Six lessons on adult friendships: how to invest in lasting connections while protecting your peace

    Did you know that the single most IMPORTANT indicator of lasting health and happiness in a given person's life is the quality of their connections? In other words, even in the midst of our busy adult lives, do NOT de-prioritize your pals! Since my previous friendships episode in Dec 2021 (ep 51), I've experienced two more years of new friendship lessons, some being harsher truths — specifically, SIX key lessons on the topics of growing apart, setting boundaries, making friends, lasting connections, and my personal tips to resist the loneliness epidemic. If you find it tough to make friends, keep friends, communicate boundaries, get triggered easily, or feel a general sense of confusion about friendships as an ADULT, this episode's for you. It's tough love style (as my solo talks always are), and I hope it brings a morsel of epiphanies, reflection, and the final nudge to check in on a friend today. :) --- ⊹ LINKS ⊹ ❤ Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠megkuang.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 💌 Newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Meg Mondays⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🧠 Reads & Listens: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠megkuang.com/brainfood⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🌻 Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@megkuang⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@musings.with.meg⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ --- ♡ SUPPORT ♡ Leave me a rating/review ★★★★★ ⁠⁠⁠Become a paid subscriber⁠

    77. How to TRULY love & embody your authentic self: body image, self-concept, fearlessness, & more

    How does one TRULY embody their authentic selves and love themselves from the inside-out?! Surprise, it's the opposite of fluffy sunshines and rainbows — let's talk body dysmorphia, eating disorders, breakups, haters, and calorie obsessions, just a few of several culprits that dragged Alison and I through the pits of low self-worth to come out stronger on the other side. When did we start deciding we no longer liked ourselves, and how did that perception shape the things we eat, people we date, what we post, and who we see in the mirror? But most importantly, what are the mindsets and beliefs that brought us to where we are now — living in alignment with who we truly are? Tune in for a raw, lowkey spiritual convo that'll leave you with more epiphanies than one. --- In this episode, I chat with the wonderful Alison Han, who'd quit her corporate job without a backup plan — and is currently living her best life solo backpacking Asia, creating content, and embracing shameless authenticity.

    76. Modern dating 101, pt. 2: situationships, standards, & physical/emotional intimacy

    Ladies, this one's for you. Karen and I are back for some dating tough love — to get you out of that situationship, redefine your dating standards, and of course, protect your precious temple of a body. Modern dating is m e s s y to say the least, and the last thing we need is to cry over someone who would only text us at 1AM. Let's talk: How does a situationship form? How do you ensure you don't lose yourself in a person? What are some red flags to watch out for in the early stages? What are some important questions to ask / get clear on before you make a decision on someone? What should you consider before physical intimacy? How quickly should one get vulnerable? And of course, once you're in that healthy, DEFINED relationship — how do you keep things fresh? Big sister advice goes hard. Tune in and let us know what you think! This episode features Karen Chen.

    75. Modern dating 101: the talking stage, first dates, Hinge stories, & detachment

    Let's get PERSONAL. At what stage should you ask someone out (or be asked out)? Can guys and girls really just be friends? How do we approach first dates? The talking stage? Communicating intentions? How do we distinguish between infatuation and truly liking someone? Honest thoughts on the friends to lovers trope? How do we detach and just have fun (without hurting anybody)?! Join Karen and I as we spill it ALL — personal stories, candid thoughts, and our best dating advice to ya'll. From Hinge success stories, to setting boundaries, to the three-date (or... one-date?) rule, think of this as a heart-to-heart with your sisters to help you navigate this crazy, crazy modern dating world.
