    The sharing divide ft. Sana

    Change is the only constant and with that, one of life's certainties are the curveballs you face in your journey. You can go through them alone or with your community. The approach you take depends heavily on sound self-awareness. We sat down to dissect different perspectives on sharing, what we continually seek to navigate our lives and how trust can play a vital role in that effort.

    Parents and parenting challenges pt. 1

    Parenting often crosses our minds and we generally have numerous conversations offline about it so we thought let's put them on the podcast. Listen in as we start with sharing some parenting techniques and contrast them with how we were brought up. We share some stories along the way and dissect some blind spots + challenges that younger parents may be facing as they look to break toxic cycles THEIR parents may have been entrenched with.

    Reflections on the podcast pt. 2

    We've certainly dropped the ball as far as frequency of sessions is concerned but rest assured, we were occupied-ish. And so with that, we're back reflecting on episodes 8 through 11. Among the things we reflect on is quality and future topics etc. Before listening, take a look at past sessions because context is sure to be missing. Hopefully it's not a total waste of your time...

    Pandemic Lessons pt. 1

    As the COVID 19 pandemic rages on with Omicron strangling the world, we sit down to discuss personal lessons we've learned along the way. A common theme has emerged during all this which is to say that the abundance of time has for better or worse, provided a chance to reflect. We hope that you've had a chance to do that as well.

    Communication pt. 1

    Join us as we take an introspective look at our own communication skillsets from verbal, active listening, written and body language based observations. We also try and figure out how we're all horrible communicators in life and what we could do if anything to marginally improve that. As always, thanks for listening.

    Self Care 101 ft. Rifat

    We cover the importance of Self Care, as we discuss the benefits, why it's so difficult to maintain or even start, and the ways we can overcome the struggles because it's ultimately for ourselves. Conversing about skincare, sleep, posture, and other things we suck at, we talk about making this life the BEST it can be by painstakingly crafting the BEST version of ourselves.
