    29 Toxic positivity in friendships

    Do we only show our most curated selves to our friends and is it realistic? Especially as we grow older and hard things happen - we become mothers, we lose parents… As busy Moms, it’s harder to make time for friendships, so they can stay stuck in the honeymoon phase and not evolve to deeper levels of vulnerability. How can we move past performance and people pleasing in our friendships and be more honest about who we are and what we want? Join the group chat, bestie!

    28 How has having kids affected your marriage?

    When your text messages change from heart emojis to “Did you take out the trash?” Lia and Rée give Maryn the scoop on how having kids changed their relationship with their partners. Depending on your pre-baby relationship dynamic, there can be resentment, jealousy, and almost unavoidably a loss of romance (at least in the beginning). The Moms share their best advice for communicating needs, sharing the workload, and creating a more seamless transition into parenthood together. Join the group chat, bestie!

    27 Spirituality vs. Religion

    What happens when we die? Where did we come from? Is there a God? How would you answer these questions if a child asked you? We dive into our personal beliefs around organized religion, spirituality, heaven and hell, life and death. During these traumatic times where religion is weaponized for control and power, we’ve found comfort in our own spiritual and religious beliefs and finding communities that are based in love versus fear.

    Now that we’re all Mothers, we reflect on our career aspirations and how we’re attempting to integrate them into our busy lives.

    24 Finding our voice and community belonging

    As unintentional model minorities, we share our growth paths of overcoming anxiety and perfectionism to find our voice and stand up for our beliefs. On a constant journey of unlearning and awakening, we share how we’re finding community, engaging in everyday advocacy, and reimagining a world for our children where creativity and collaboration thrive.

    23 Pregnant at 40 and our matrescence journeys

    We have BIG news to share - Maryn’s pregnant and joining the Mom club with Lia and Rée! With all of the things needed to prepare for baby, it’s easy to forget about yourself as the Mom in the process (and even more so after the baby is born). We walk through our matrescence journeys, the process of becoming Moms including the psychological, social, and cultural changes that occur. Motherhood is filled with moments of uncertainty, exhaustion, resentment, and also magic, love, and joy. We’re here to normalize all of it.

    22 How “Asian” are we?

    Join us as we unpack and put Asian stereotypes to the test. Do Filipinos slay at karaoke? Don’t Asians love rice? Hear our hot takes on these clichés, the ones we fit and our surprising deviations. We share our personal experiences in hopes of humanizing our cultures, and sparking curiosity and appreciation beyond these limiting generalizations.
