    Alicia | ...on backing yourself, and being backed by others.

    In this week's episode, Louisa and the Fantastic Fo speak to Alicia Beale, the 38 year old owner of The Aftermath and another example of someone coming to the city for a few months and staying for many years.  Alicia shares her 16 year experience in Hong Kong after coming to the city at 23 from the US to visit her best friend. We get into how easy it is to get lost in the HK sauce initially, and how it takes some time to find the right balance and make it a sustainable but fulfilling home.  We discuss how she didn't expect such a dynamic city at first and she shares some of the challenges she met, and the growth that comes with the transition from your 20s to 30s....AS WELL AS her experience starting and running businesses in Hong Kong over the last 3 crazy years.

    Fo and Lou | ...on the stresses of Covid, Brené Brown, and the power of now

    In this week's episode, and our first video podcast, Louisa and the Fantastic Fo have a really good catch up, if we do say so ourselves. We talk about the current COVID situation in Hong Kong and what if any strategies we have for dealing with prolonged uncertainty.  This leads us to a great chat about the books, tv shows and podcast that help deal and distract. Louisa's love affair with Brené Brown continues and Fo tries his hardest to explain "now". One of our longer episodes, but that usually means we really enjoyed the episode so we hope you do too! Check out the video for this episode here. Enjoy.  -- We love putting the show together for you, and we hope you love it too!
