It’s the final episode of Season 2 and we took a look back at how far we have come. To wrap this season up, we talked about self awareness - specifically what it means to be self aware and why it’s important to be self aware. Since our personalities, actions, reactions, emotions, thoughts, values and beliefs say a lot about self awareness, we took a deep dive into our teenage years and read through our childhood journals to see how much self awareness we have developed since then. We of course got to chatting about developing our self awareness while navigating our Sri Lankan cultural expectations as well.

Let’s be honest - we’ve been lied to about love. We went into a rabbit hole about why we have all of these different views as a culture about love or what love should be. Give us a listen and let us know what lies you’ve been told about love.

We all go through frightening or stressful situations. We also process our traumas differently depending on the kind of traumas they are. Everybody’s experience is different. Learning about these differences actually bring us closer together as communities.  

So, in this episode, we talked about different types of traumas. 

We would love to hear your thoughts on the episode and if you would like us to dig deeper into a specific type.

We’ll be the first ones to tell you that parent-child relationships are really hard (from children’s perspective). We’re mindful that not every parent is the same and everyone’s situation is different. Which makes our relationships with our parents very complicated. With these nuances in mind, this week, we got to talking about some of the ways to maintain and create healthy relationships with parents. Give us a listen and let us know your thoughts.

This week we rambled about a few topics. Sri Lankan cricket is a hot topic these days after the win the SL Cricket team won the Asia Cup 2022 so we couldn’t miss the chance to talk about it.
