    12. Uarda - Can money buy happiness?

    In this episode, we try to answer a pretty famous question: can money buy happiness?Since both Uarda and I are (let’s say) scientists, we approached this question through studies that have tried to answer it before us. Of course, we also share our own opinions along the way.Do we actually answer the question?You’ll have to listen until the end and find out. lotac instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lotac_podcast?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3D Papers introduced by Veta Killingsworth, M.

    Πρωτοχρονιά 2025 - Πως να μαγειρέψετε γκαζόν;

    Όχι ο τίτλος δεν είναι λάθος. Αυτό το επεισόδιο δεν αποτελεί κομμάτι της σειράς αυτού του ποντκαστ, είναι ένα αυτοτελές επεισόδιο. Η Ελισάβετ τον Δεκέμβριο του 2024 ήθελε να δοκιμάσει το νέο μικρόφωνο του ποντκαστ όποτε έκανε μια ραδιοφωνική εκπομπή μόνη της για 12 λεπτά. Λέει ότι της έρχεται στο μυαλό, από το πως η στεναχώρια χρειάζεται για να έχεις χαρά μέχρι το πως να μαγειρέψετε γκαζόν. Ένα χρόνο μετά και αφού έφυγε το 2025 αποφάσισα ότι είναι το κατάλληλο εορταστικό επεισόδιο για να υποδεχτούμε το 2026. Το επεισόδιο δημιουργήθηκε ως αστείο και ελπίζω να γελάσετε όσο γέλασα εγώ όταν το ηχογράφησε.

    11. Clobes & Tan - Narcissism

    "Narcissistic personality disorder is defined as a mental health condition where someone has an unreasonably high sense of their own importance." I think almost everyone has known at least one person that fits this description. For me, that person made me feel like I was losing my mind, drowning in self-doubt, confusion, and other emotions no one should be made to feel. During that time, two of my friends, who had also experienced relationships with narcissists, helped me recognize the patterns, validate my feelings, and slowly reconnect with myself. So I thought: what if we recorded a conversation about it? Maybe it could help you, my fans, as well. This episode is exactly how our real-life convos go: we go deep, we get distracted, we laugh, we circle back to serious moments and repeat. I hope as you listen, you feel like you are sitting with us (have a glass of whatever you love to drink) and be part of the conversation. And more than anything, I hope it helps you feel a little more seen. lotac instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lotac_podcast?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3D Artwork: Claudia

    10. Tan & Clobes - Self-confidence and Self-esteem

    Happy Easter, my fans!!!This episode isn’t related to Easter at all, but it was one of the most fun to make. Every conversation with Tan and Clobes (mic or no mic) is pure chaos, and also super funny, so I wanted to share this experience with you. I hope you can feel just how much fun we had!I chose this theme for our talk because I see them as people with strong self-confidence and pretty solid self-esteem, even though they didn’t exactly agree with that. This is just one of the topics we got into, during the convo, another theme came up that took us almost another hour to dive into. So stay tuned for that one too, coming soon! lotac Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/lotac_podcast?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== Artwork: Claudia

    9. Tanika- Tandem Talks

    This episode is special, it's a collaboration, a dream come true! The best blogger I know, Tanika, interviewed me, and I won’t lie, it was really fun to be on the other side for a change. Maybe I should stop asking questions and just talk about myself! Tandem Talks did a profile on me, and I couldn’t be more honored. So sit tight and listen to the interview as it happened before Tanika worked her magic and turned it into a compelling story for her blog. Be sure to check it out! Don’t forget to subscribe to her blog and follow her on Instagram for more amazing profiles like mine!

    8. Lia - People pleasing and Impostor syndrome

    In this episode, we dive into the struggles of people pleasing and impostor syndrome—two challenges that both of us face and wanted to share with you. Join us as we talk about our opinion on what is people pleasing, how we realized we were doing it and how we try to not do it. Also we try to understand what the impostor syndrome means and why only smart people like us have it.

    7. Χρύσα- Αντικατοπτρίζει η εξωτερική εμφάνιση την προσωπικότητα μας;

    Πόσο σημασία έχει άραγε τι φοράμε; Τι είναι το clean girl aesthetic; Γιατί κάποιος αποφάσισε από άνθρωπος να γίνει δράκος; Τι θα φάμε για μεσημεριανό; Πότε βρήκαμε το στυλ μας; Και άλλες απορίες που δεν βγαζουν νόημα και δεν έχουν καμία συνοχή, θα απαντηθούν (μπορεί και όχι) σε αυτό το επεισόδιο.
