    how expectations hinder you from growing as a south asian

    how expectations hinder you from growing as a south asian

    we're so back with a real hard hitting topic we know yall gonna relate to. as brown people, we're given by expectations by everyone!!! our parents, distant family, society, culture, sometimes it feels like we dont even have the space to explore ourselves because we're busy making others happy. this episode is all about craving acceptance, the appropriate balance of expectation, and how we detach ourselves from the needs and pressures of others, and more! we expect you to listen!!!

    8 signs that you're settling in your relationship

    hello friends today we're discussing our 8 signs that YOU might be settling in your relationship. as brown people, we rarely know our own worth in a relationship since it's tied to so many traits, and its so easy to settle for less than what you or anyone even deserves. in this episode, we talk bout the difference between setting in a relationship and being "realistic", becoming a fictional character, avoiding vulnerability, the olive theory, and how mashnun is a great wedding dancer. listen to have him choreograph your own wedding!!!
