Looking for and sustaining romantic love can be so messy, crazy and exciting all at the same time. And being in our twenties, this is when we begin to really grapple with what we want in this space - Who do we want? How do go about finding a S.O.? Do we even want to settle down? The existential crises go on and on.

To explore these questions, the three of us get a bit vulnerable in this episode by sharing our own experiences. From our past success and failures, we discuss some ways to hone in on what you want in a partner, and share some completely unscientific tips in finding a significant other! We also examine different types of attitudes towards relationships, and what are the potential endgames. And of course given the pandemic, we can’t finish this episode without talking about long distance relationships! So join us as we sip on some relationship tea, we hope you enjoy 😌

What does it mean to have 'no personality'?

We often hear people describe others as having 'no personality'. But as we try to make sense of this phrase, we find ourselves asking the same question again and again - What is a personality? and what's NOT a personality? Is being a foodie a personality? 🤭

In this episode, we explore how personalities are commonly defined nowadays, and how much of personality we can actually show at work as someone junior. We also got real about how social media may have introduced a shallower idea of what makes a personality these days. Join us as we try to unravel the intricacy of 'having personality'. Enjoy!
