Conversations on Our Way

Being psychology graduates, we both naturally really like doing and talking about personality tests. We mainly focus on the Myers-Briggs because that's the most commonly known but we also touch on my personal favorite, the Big Five.

I've been curating 'album playlists' for more than 6 months now and been one of my creative pursuits that I really have been enjoying. Along with this podcast where I verbally express my opinions on certain things, these album playlists let me express my emotions and feelings at the time when I put the playlist together. I try to create a narrative within the playlist and hopefully listeners can receive that story. I've only just started publicly talking about this now because the latest album playlist that I've curated is the one that I'm most proud of so far. Have a listen if you'd like. Search for '5. I Think I Am the Problem, That’s a Good Problem to Have' on Spotify. Enjoy the playlist and the podcast.

Another one of the catchup episodes where we like doing and don't have the hard restriction of sticking to one topic. This is probably closer to what a 'normal' conversation between Flo and I would be like that's not on air. No agenda, no plans to target certain questions, just us freely speaking. Hope you guys like these type of podcasts as much as we like doing them. See you next week.

Continuing discussing the same podcast I listened to last week, but this week we talk about the second part of the podcast which looks at the jobs with the highest job satisfaction and the jobs with the happiest people. Could it be that happy people tend to pick the 'happy' jobs? I guess we'll never really know but I personally think that although our jobs are big factors of our life, happiness is more than that. A life lived colorful is a well-lived life. Hope you enjoy the episode. See you next week.

This week, I came across a really interesting podcast (No Stupid Questions Episode 31) and wanted to discuss how much do our friends actually affect the decisions we make in our lives, are we fully in control? Probably not. Are our friends fully in control? Probably not as well. Tune in to listen we end up with.

Personally a fun topic to talk about for me because I personally come from a family of sleepwalkers and sleep-talkers. But funnily enough, I never really have any dreams. Flo on the other hand apparently dreams every night. 

Tune in to listen to Sam's famous sleepwalking stories and Flo's weird recurring cheese dreams.

Kind of a topic that has been in our backlog for a while, but nonetheless interesting and we all wanted to speak about it on air. We explore what the different types of attraction really are to us, what is defined as flirting, and how love languages take part into how we interact with other people, especially with the ones that we care about. There's definitely more to speak about on this topic but tune into this episode on what we currently think about love.

Flo and I have always identified ourselves as overthinkers. Most may think it's an anchor, but we believe it's more of an advantage. I personally think that overthinking if used well leads to manipulation, but this idea may been debunked via the discussion we had here. Either way, I definitely need to put more thought into this topic if I'm going to write a book about this. Tune in to listen to what we had to say. Happy new year everyone!

This is the 17th and final episode of 2020. Thanks for tuning into our journey throughout this tough year. A lot of us have unwillingly faced demons this year but although tougher demons will inevitably come, we'll always have our loved ones there to support us. Anything is possible as long as you're alive. See you guys next year.

Aaron is a professional poker player and coach from Sydney, another one of Flo's interesting neighbors. He studied Information Systems but then decided against the cookie-cutter life of a graduate role and pursued poker as a career instead which I find to be very courageous and highly respectable. He loved something and decided to give it his all, tune in to listen to his journey. 

If you're keen for some poker lessons, hit him up at @neuronpoker on Instagram.
