Episode 3: Self Love

How many times have you looked in the mirror and wished to see someone else? You hate each curve that accentuates your body and each freckle that lines your cheeks, wishing that you'd look better, smarter - perfect. You despise yourself. But if you don't love yourself, who will, and what does it take for one to love oneself? This week, dive in with host Sarah and guest speaker Aida Azrin as they go through the notions of self-love. Aida is an enigmatic life of the party who is also the editor of Wild Ginger, an inclusive wellness guide that promotes self-care. In the words of Christopher Robin, "You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." To our listeners; give yourself some credit and love yourself.

Episode 2: Mental Health

Taking care of our mental health has a big impact on our lives - not just ourselves but also our relationships. Being mentally ill should not be an embarrassment or something that one feels like they should hide about. It's time we educate ourselves not just on the importance of mental wellbeing, but also learning to show more compassion for others going through a tough time. This week, join hosts Ammar and Taqi with our guest speaker, Puan Anita and Cynthia Joseph as they destigmatize mental health. Puan Anita is the president of Mental Illness Awareness & Support Association (MIASA) while Cynthia co-founded the amazing KauOKTak. Both of these women are avid advocates for mental wellbeing and we cannot wait to embark on this new journey of learning more about a pertinent issue - mental health.

Episode 1: Unseen Disabilities

AYAN Malaysia: Hello ASEAN! Can You(th) Hear Me returns for a second season, with our charming host, Sarah. We open our new season with a topic that is rarely spoken about but shows its prevalence in our nation: Unseen Disabilities. Having the general stigma surrounding disabilities is exhausting by itself. Now imagine being invalidated of your own disabilities, simply because it does not fit with what the media portrays disabilities as. Let's delve in deeper to the roots of the problem with our guest speaker, Batrisyia Najwa Azalan, a social science student from Monash University.

Episode 10: Women in Politics!

Since the declaration of independence in 1957, the issue regarding women representation in politics has been highly controversial and significant. Are women getting more opportunities to be involved in the political arena? What about the glass ceiling? Can it be shattered? Joining our host Khaiswariya Jeyapalan are two very inspiring women, Kelly and Awliya or better known as Oli. Aside from being a clinical psychologist and wellness coach (Kelly) and a Senior Fund Accountant at the Royal Bank of Canada (Oli), these amazing women are also very active representatives of Parlimen Wanita Muda (PWM). Quoting Oli, women account for half of the world population and should be given the platform to speak up. Tune in to our final episode for Season 1 as they share their insights on why women should consider getting involved in politics, whether family responsibilities are a real obstacle to women’s engagement in politics and many more!
