    New Year, New Us

    Hey listeners, it’s time to ring in a new year, and that calls for reflection, retrospection, and looking ahead to what’s to come. In this episode, we discuss the lessons of the past year, along with experiences, challenges, and conversations that made us see things in a new light. We mention books and podcasts that influenced us this year (listed below) and would love to hear from you on the ideas and thoughts that influenced you the most this year. With the new year comes a new chance to refresh our goals and intentions and hope you find some inspiration (or just plain enjoyment) in this year’s reflection.

    To Confront or Not To Confront

    In the words of John Mayer, “Say what you need to say.” Or…don’t? In our day-to-day lives, we often think of the words left unsaid. How else could I have handled that micro-aggression at work? Did I do the right thing in seeking out help? These questions, and many more, come up during our conversations on times when a confrontation could either bring you a sense of closure or just mean prolonged awkwardness every day at work. We talk about how power dynamics and confrontations play out in a professional setting, often affecting people with marginalized identities the most.

    Goat Yoga, Coachella, and Sari Sports Bras: Cultural Appropriation vs. Appreciation

    On today’s episode we discuss the many ways international cultures are “branded” to fit the current trends of the time. Goat yoga sounds like a delightful time, but does it pay homage to yoga’s roots in India? Maybe cultural appropriation is inevitable in our globalized society, where languages, recipes, and fashion trends are exchanged every second via social media. We also discuss the generational perspectives on what is deemed “appropriation” vs. “appreciation.” There was a time when there was no representation of Indian culture in fashion, so maybe that bindi-wearing girl at Coachella is a cultural ambassador, bringing Desi fashion to the West. It’s all about perspective…or is it?

    Our Take on Stolen Focus (Part 1)

    Welcome back friends! As usual we have gotten so into our conversation we could not stop talking and had to make this a two-parter. Stolen Focus, the absolute bible on navigating the modern world's incapability with staying on task (written by the brilliant Johann Hari) was our roadmap for this week's episode. Join us as we get into the truly complex and intimidating task of deconstructing the establishment of distraction. If you have been struggling to focus lately it both is and is not your fault! If you're perplexed by that answer then give this episode a listen.

    How Do You Define Your Life?

    In this episode we discuss a decade that can mean multiple things at once: our twenties. One on hand, our twenties can be a time of exploration and experiences that we won’t have once we are more settled down in life. This is the time to move to Costa Rica and work as a scuba diving instructor before the window of opportunity closes. However, in Meg Jay’s book The Defining Decade, she argues that our twenties are a lot more significant than we realize. We discuss her arguments around picking the right career, partner, and lifestyle in your twenties to build a strong foundation for yourself later on down the road. As three women at the halfway point of this “defining decade,” we take a look at our own lives to see the impact of our decisions.
