- Education
If you think about it, we are all "getting out there" somehow. Whether we're transitioning from high school to uni, quitting our full-time jobs to pursue our passions, breaking out of bad habits and building good ones, or just getting out of our comfort zones.
In the Getting Out There Podcast, join co-hosts Sora and Sharlene who talk about their experiences in work, life and as students. They also get into what they wish they knew, share tips and give insights on the things they are currently doing and how they're trying to be better individuals.

9 - Unnecessary Furniture
Some of us think we need it, so we buy it, but some of us ask ourselves the question, "Do I really need this?" and if we do, we either choose to get it then and there or reward ourselves when the time comes.
Taken from our original conversation with our friend and first guest Yang, we talk about the stuff we've lived with growing up thanks to our moms and think about how everything we buy aren't necessarily things we need. -
8 - Making the most of "now".
Do you look back and say, "I'm glad I did that" or "If I didn’t do that I wouldn't be here"? Do you sometimes question your purpose in life?
Our first guest Yang Chen joins us in talking about "existential dread", how things could have been and how we should always keep trying by making the most of now.
Yang (Sunny) Chen came to Australia in 2014 from China. She did a Bachelor of Nursing at the University of Newcastle and is now a nurse in Newcastle, Australia. -
7 - Good Early Money Habits
We think it's good to start as soon as you can, especially when it comes to building good habits that will benefit you in the long run.
Join our discussion about the situation of our bank accounts when we started working and why it's important to adopt good money habits early on. We also get into how we spend now, plus share our homemade McFlurry recipe! -
6 - Social Media Consumption
We all know social media can be very addictive, especially when it comes to external validation through likes from applications like Facebook or Instagram. In this episode, we talk about our experiences with external validation, habits that helped us reduce our time spent on social media, and how we should always try our best to compare ourselves to who we used to be, instead of comparing ourselves to others!
