    What We Don't Say About Growing Up

    (For any video watchers, please be warned this video is out of focus for a good portion of the episode! Thank you for sharing your time and listening/or watching!) Growing up can feel strange, like one second we're all in the same boat and quickly that shifts. Now it feels a little more daunting, maybe you feel a little isolated, or things just feel all around confusing and weird. This is just part of growing up, and also what a lot of us don't say about it. So I decided to chat about some of that in this episode. Hope you enjoy :) --- Keep up with the show here: Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/imcarmenkang/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (@imcarmenkang) ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/thetryingtimespodcast/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (@thetryingtimespodcast) Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/thetryingtimespodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/imcarmenkang⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (@imcarmenkang)

    Why We Romanticize Seasons, Music & Little Moments

    This one is all about the concept of 'emotional tagging', and how we might do this more often than we realize + how it can make moments feel more special.
