    Imposter syndrome who?

Hanli explores what it means to truly let yourself go and express yourself without judgement, even if it's a bit cringe.

    It's a pyjama party!!

    We're tired of adulthood so we had ourselves a pyjama party. This week, Hanli gets existential with the question, does generosity breed greed? What do healthy expectations look like in our grown up friendships, and why do we sometimes feel short-changed? Meanwhile, Marissa tries to concoct a formula to raising a funny child (the secret ingredient: a sprinkle of trauma)... before we argue over what makes the ultimate clerb night.

    Is health our entire 30's personality?

    We're taking you on a wild ride this episode. Hanli and Marissa define their relationship as a little more than a friendship but a little less than lovers, before digging into what's been on their minds this week. Marissa's made Hyrox her entire personality this past month, but shares her frustrations on the latest health crazes and her fury over the return of skinny culture. Hanli gets into the beautiful chaos of trying to understand motherhood and the mother wound  ahead of planning a family.

    Holy matrimony, Tarzan and gen-Z skincare

    Hanli and Marissa are back for season 6 baby! We're bringing the lols, the feels, and real talk. Marissa spills on her recent engagement, while Hanli gives us the debrief on her cultural wedding. We call out the pressure-cooker that is modern wedding culture and champion keeping it small, sacred, and unhinged. We also question why Gen Z still thinks 30 is ancient and how they have the time for their elaborate skincare routines, before we go down memory lane about our nights at the clerb. You know the drill – sass, nonsense and side-eye. Tune in.

    Pregnancy tests and plotting revenge

    Welcome back to a mega-personal, extra-long catch up episode, besties! We knoooow it's been a minute, but being able to record in person just hits different. So we saved up all the good stuff for this juicy little number. We talk about babies... like how are we meant to KNOW when we're ready to make one? Will we ever feel sure? Then we figure out where the lines are between our friends and our partners... what happens if they hate each other? What if they like each other too much? Tell us what you think.

    Birds of a feather cringe together

    For the first time in forever Hanli and Marissa take a break from their BFF LDR and record this whole episode without breaking eye contact... and things got deep. We reflect on a few important life things, like... Have we taken self-hood too far? Is social media only feeding our need for external validation? Who is your safe space? Is there such thing as gossiping for good? Are we suffering from cringe blindness? So many thoughts, so many feelings. You need to tune in.

Marissa reflects on how growing up can sometimes feel like growing apart, as we all enter different chapters of our lives.

    We did the work, now it's your move

    Ladies, we get it. Online dating can be such a chore. We do the work, we’re ready to put ourselves out there, but how many frogs do we need to kiss before we find our prince? In this episode, we’re talking about all things online dating. The highs, the lows, and the weird and wonderful things we experience on our quest to meet the one. We spill the tea on the few times we tried to make the first move, share our zombie apocalypse plans, and give you our tips on how to build a killer profile. And of course, shoutout to the queen bee, Bumble 🐝, for teaming up with this cute lil podcast! #bumbleasia #openingmoves
