We spend the first years of our lives constantly learning, whether we're at school or at home. As we get older, it is just as important to unlearn — to truly discover and listen to your own individual voice that breaks free from what your parents have taught you, what school has taught you and what society expects from you.

This is Erika and Roxi and we invite you to join in on our conversations as we talk about unlearning from the context of an Asian upbringing.

    How to be a morning person when you aren’t one

    How to be a morning person when you aren’t one

    In this episode, Erika talks about the benefits of waking up earlier (like getting more shit done) and how even people who hate mornings can become morning people.

    Let’s get this out of the way: you’re not going to become a morning person just by waking up groggily at 6 am to a blaring alarm. Changes like this are beneficial, but sure as hell still need to be planned out for you to actually enjoy the change! Take it slowly with Erika’s steps!

    Have you tried (and failed) to be a morning person or did you the extra time to be productive? Let us know @unlearningwithus on IG and Tiktok!
