116th Hotline

Perception when it comes to ourselves has a huge impact on our insecurities. As humans, we all have insecurities, but how we deal with it varies. We often get DM's and messages from listeners/viewers about how we each individually deal with our past insecurities or how we've all "leveled" up to get to where we are today. Each one of us has had to make rocky journeys to get here, but we are sharing with you previous things that has helped us get closer to being happier, every step of the way. Thank you for listening.

Being in a relationship in itself is tricky, but, defining whether or not you and your partner are on the same page as well as the label of your relationship can turn sour or good. The golden question... If you've been together with someone for years without committing to marriage, is that okay? Then, vice versa, does the label itself even matter?.. Let's unpack it!

After a delay, we are back! Now this, THIS, is a hot topic. So please, let us know what your thoughts are. Not only in our community space, but, other spaces in general. Have you encountered male photographers that specifically photograph just boudoir or nude shoots? If so, what are your thoughts? Let us know.

Happy Monday! We hope that your weekend was wonderful. This week, let's get real and dive in deeper to our feelings and unpack the stigma around antidepressants. We also do our favorite, mental health check-in!

Let's talk about gossiping. What is it in it's truest form? Are you gossiping just to be a lil noisy human, orrrr are you doing it for the purposes of finding out the truths? We're also unpacking the idea of fake friends that you need to be alert about when they're around while your venting. Not all friends are going to be there for you (they will most likely be the ones who use your drama to get attention!)

It's about that time of the year.. tax season! Which brings us to money, what a hot debate. How we manage money, does that come with how we were around money growing up? Does it change us when we get older? What other values make us see the value of the dollar in such different ways? We always have different opinions and creating a safe space to talk about these topics without fear of what will happen if we speak our truths is what we strive to have. Let us know if your youth influenced your view(s) on money and how it should be spent or saved.

*Trigger warning* Domestic violence/abuse, murder suicides, The Hmong Community — So what happens when our community introduces a frightening truth to what our society is deemed as “the normal”? How do we overcome these hurdles? How can we introduce the solution to these problems? Hold on to your drinks because this is a heavy episode. Thank you for tuning in.

Not every situation in life is peachy keen or up to par with what we envision it to be. Whether you're looking for that next job opportunity or even getting rejected in a relationship, or general situation. How we overcome these different hurdles tell a story about us as individuals. Did you continue to see it in a negative way? Or did you try to turn that around to a positive one? Let's talk about it and let us know your rejections or missed opportunities and how you dealt with them.

We often talk about the factors that lead us to where we are today. But have you really thought about everything that had to happen for you to go through certain scenarios? Did you manifest it? Did it intentionally happen or did it unintentionally happen to you? The mind is a strong powerhouse that can lead us down many different paths. Enjoy this episode!

Just because you’ve gone through something, you hold the key to changing that for your future children (and yourself). We talk about a part of our past that is looked at as taboo or things we normally wouldn’t speak on. Reminiscing about childhood and how we’ve moved through life with our family in the present time. Have you ever been in a situation that scarred or left you with no choice but to turn your life around?
