In this episode, we define personal “energy” and how celebrities and the people around us utilize it to attract huge opportunities and followings in their life. What defines a “healthy” relationship with social media, how is our relationship with social media similar to that of a codependent, romantic relationship, and how can we use what we know about our social media habits to identify the pitfalls and joys of our life outside of it? We discuss the meaning of the quote, “You only get what you have the courage to ask for,” and how the core of this is reflected in the white-business-man’s energy in the classroom in comparison to that of a child of newly immigrated parents… We also bring up how energy reflects the absence of truth, as every different perception creates a different reality on the quantum level, and dive into the current book we’re reading, “Atomic Habits,” by James Clear.

In this episode, Jackie returns for a lengthy discussion about burnout culture in college – types of burnout, what it derives from, how it’s affecting our generation, and ways to combat it. We recount stories from our personal university experiences, and reflect on the changes that have developed ever since.

In this episode, we do a deep dive of the Amy Lee content we’ve been consuming recently. Our discussion revolves around the pros and cons of therapy, trauma’s overlooked intergenerational nature, attachment styles, and love languages. Relationships can be hard, perhaps for the very reason that they can always serve as opportunities to learn more about ourselves, which, as we all know, is a never ending process.

We invite our friend Jackie to sit down and chat casually about getting tattoos, establishing community, and what it means to be a "central node" in a social network. We also recorded our conversation on Instagram Live (@eatcoconutyogurt) and uploaded to our Coconut Yogurt Youtube channel!

In this episode, we talk about our week experimenting with new creative pursuits and being inspired by Van Leeuwen’s vegan ice-cream, as well as some lessons we’re in the process of learning revolving around self-love. “We accept the love we think we deserve,” has never rung truer to our ears as we reflect on how even an act as simple as receiving a compliment can serve as a reflection to what we think we are deserving of. We also reference the heavy stereotypes placed on young, impressionable women as depicted in Euphoria, and why it's more important than ever to break out of these societal expectations to succeed in true self-love. (Apologies for the technical difficulties & late upload! Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy.)

This week, we dive into a discussion centered on the often overlooked concept of growth vs. fixed mindset, particularly what role they’ve recently played in our personal lives, and the ways that we have been trying to bridge the gap between our current and future selves – method acting as a technique for personal development, scripting as a regular journal practice, and ways that we have strived to heal our inner child wounds.

Is it cool to care? How much is too much? We investigate the messy nuances that come with “caring” about the things in our life, such as in the thrill of the chase in our dating lives, the quality of an artist’s work, and the capacity for people to break away from perfectionism in the pursuit of their personal creative goals.

A candid conversation on dating during quarantine and how the Hinge algorithm is prompting some self-reflection.

A passionate discussion about the way language learning cultivates our inner child, and the role of the ego in repressing this childlike wonder during our adolescence.
