It’s no secret that guys suck at talking about their feelings and everyone wishes they were better at it, us included. On Vulnerability Junkies, two friends (Kevin Lau & Jamie Wong) struggle through the scary parts of personal and career growth as 20/30 somethings, their cultural identities as Asian Canadians, and becoming less emotionally constipated. After taking an emotional intelligence course while between silicon valley tech jobs, we started this podcast to practice, fail, and learn in public. So here it is in all its messy glory. Sit back, relax, and enjoy your hit of vulnerability.

    Ep 30: Burnt-out girl boss 🤝 man reclaiming healthy masculinity (w/ Stephanie Tran and Kevin Do!)

    Stephanie Tran is co-founder of Relating Between the Lines (RBTL), the life changing communication course that we both took. Kevin Do was a facilitator for both of us in RBTL. Somewhere along the way they started dating and got married. In this episode we talk about When KDo Met Steph, girl-bossing so hard your body starts to deteriorate, healthy masculinity, being novices at having fun, and how to navigate situations where pursuing your dreams can hurt your partner. ------------------------------------------------ Hosts: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kevin Lau⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jamie Wong⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Guests: Stephanie Tran, Kevin Do Intro music by: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Harry Dai⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ------------------------------------------------ CONNECT WITH US Subscribe and follow us @vulnerabilityjunkies on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ /⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Spotify ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or @softboiacademia on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Listener Survey: Share your thoughts on the podcast with us ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (thank you for sharing!)

    Ep 28: Let your geek flag fly (w/ Philip La)

    Among our friends, none has embraced their fandoms as whole-heartedly as Phil. He is unabashed in his deep love for anime and power rangers, even throughout a process of going on 100 first dates (which led to him meeting his now-wife!). Phil inspires us to love what we love, out in the open. So in this episode, we geek out about our anime origin stories and learn about how Phil’s passions have defined his 9-5 working in tech, and 5-9 as an anime merch influencer. ------------------------------------------------ Hosts: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kevin Lau⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jamie Wong⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Guest: Philip La Intro music by: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Harry Dai⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ------------------------------------------------ CONNECT WITH US Subscribe and follow us @vulnerabilityjunkies on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ /⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Spotify ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or @softboiacademia on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Listener Survey: Share your thoughts on the podcast with us ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (thank you for sharing!)

    Ep 27: Crafting experiences to turn strangers into friends (w/ Adele Bloch!)

    Adele loves organizing events that are designed to encourage strangers to be vulnerable and connect more deeply with each other. Naturally, we are big fans of Adele’s work! In this episode, we unpack the intentionality behind her experience design, the logistics required to run events for dozens of strangers, and things she’s learned from failures over the years. ------------------------------------------------ Hosts: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kevin Lau⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jamie Wong⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Guest: Adele Bloch Intro music by: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Harry Dai⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ------------------------------------------------ CONNECT WITH US Subscribe and follow us @vulnerabilityjunkies on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ /⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Spotify ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or @softboiacademia on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Listener Survey: Share your thoughts on the podcast with us ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (thank you for sharing!)

    Ep 25: Being a mom doesn’t need to be all-consuming (w/ Ruth Grace Wong!)

    Ruth is one of our most prolific side project friends, and also one of our most prolific parent friends.

In this episode, we talk about joyful parenting, and how a brief stint in hospice care shifted her towards an anti-perfectionist mindset. ------------------------------------------------ Hosts: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kevin Lau⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jamie Wong⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Guest: Ruth Grace Wong Intro music by: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Harry Dai⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ------------------------------------------------ CONNECT WITH US Subscribe and follow us @vulnerabilityjunkies on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ /⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Spotify ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or @softboiacademia on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Listener Survey: Share your thoughts on the podcast with us ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (thank you for sharing!)
