  • simplifying the process of making female friends as an adult

    we get it, it's hard to make friends as adults. especially as girls, we were taught to always compete with other girls and gossip where it feels impossible to find true girlfriends in your 20s. in this solo episode, mohuya talks about how to find and maintain those female friends when you move out of your hometown or outgrow old friendships. this episode is peak girlhood and i hope this video finds u in the algorithm if you're also on the same boat of trying to find ur people :)

  • embarrassing high school stories that altered our brain chemistries

    ever had a 'cringey' moment in high school that you could never say out loud? well us too, except we're gonna tell you because we can laugh about it now and so you don't feel as alone. we got stories ranging from doing 5 talent shows in one sitting just to look cool in front of our classmates to buying the same prom dress as someone else, and everything else in between. high school is such a small portion in our lives, so there's no point to delve on the past when there's so much more look forward to. we hope u enjoy!!

  • what we learned about money in our 20s

    growing up, we didn't have too much financial literacy and knowledge on credit cards, 401Ks, how to actually save up, healthy spending habits, and things related to money. we had to kinda learn about money the hard way by making mistakes and researching it on our own. in this episode, we're going to share some of our top lessons and advice about money so that you don't have to go through the same thing that we did. hope u enjoy!!

  • what's the american dream for POC's?

    we always hear about 'the american dream' and how our parents moved across the world and sacrificed their livelihoods for us to achieve this ideal life. but it wasn't until we got older where we realized that our versions of the american dream is completely different than what we saw on western media and also what our parents expected of us. it's not really about having a white picket fence and it's not really about becoming a doctor to help our parents' reputation, but something completely different. so let's talk about it.. what is the american dream for POC's and south asians? hope u enjoy this episode and as always, pls share your thoughts!! :)

  • why do brown people strive for white approval?

    hot topic for the first of 2024!! why do brown people feel the need to always please white people, and have the desire the satisfy them? we were inspired by a tiktok by @azitatoprahman who spoke about witnessing a ton of brown influencers and creators who built their platforms on the basis of being brown but have now been silent about what’s happening in 🍉. in this episode, we talk about where we’ve fell victim trying to please white people, brown on brown hatred, and how advocating for representation comes with responsibilities. listen to have a good day!!

  • the art of detachment + learning to love the journey

    last episode of the year!! a lot has been going on and a lot has been on our minds so we wanted to spend this episode sharing a bit bout things we find ourselves closely attached to, how we end up with so much on our shoulders, and learning the process of detachment. whether its detaching ourselves from being so result driven, from family expectations, or just any external source that has too much control over us, the art of detachment is powerful and one that all south asians should practice. this one's kinda all over the place, but we hope you can take something out of our ramblings and have it mean something special! happy new year ily

  • routines that we can't live without in our 20s
    we made fun of our mom's routines and hated making our bed growing up, but like maybe.... our parents were onto something. now that we're older, we have small self care routines and habits that may seem 'annoying' to do, but make the world of a difference when you're having those rough mental health days. things like washing the dishes before bed so you don't have to worry about it in the morning or waking up an hour before your usual time to have "me time" can be so beneficial for your current and future selves. if ur in a rut, hope this episode gives you some inspo on some small routines you can follow :)
