It’s no secret that friendships are a big part of our lives - from our close high school group chats, to our long distance friends we truly miss, to the friends who are always down to do absolutely nothing together, our friendships mean just as much to us as our relationships! 

But does the amount of effort, vulnerability, and transparency we bring to friendships match the level of internal appreciation we have?  Are we as willing to work on our Big Friendships as we are on our relationships? Today we delve into our thoughts on friendship insecurities, improving intimacy with friends, and our personal friendship learnings. 

This episode is inspired by and dedicated to “Big Friendship: How We Keep Each Other Close” by Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman. Not only is their book a phenomenal deep dive into the importance of working on your meaningful friendships, Aminatou and Ann host a wonderful podcast called “Call Your Girlfriend” that delves deeper into the nuances of friendship. Please check them out and give them some love!!!

Behind the articles that pop up on our news feed, there’s a reporter staying up late at night typing up a storm on their dimly lit laptop. Terry Nguyen is a reporter for The Goods at Vox, covering internet & consumer trends. Not only do her articles cover on-trend topics that fly under the radar of mainstream media, they’re also imbued with a sense of cultural understanding that fosters constructive discussion and empathy.

In today’s episode, Terry shares what it’s like to be a reporter, divulges the secret origins of her writing career, and discusses the complicated cross-section of activism, social media, and fake news.

ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) is a neurodevelopmental disorder, commonly portrayed as an inability to sit still and concentrate. While that isn’t completely off base, the reality of ADHD, especially when undiagnosed, is much more complex. 

Our friend Carissa joins us today to share her experience with ADHD - she opens up about living with undiagnosed ADHD, navigating the confusing steps to getting a diagnosis, and unlearning the internalized shame and stigma in her ongoing journey to self-acceptance.

There seems to be a lot of contention about exactly what year the cutoff is between Gen Z and Millenials... so we brought on some 1998 friends to confirm! Today we're excited to have Sally, Linda, and Ming from Moving Oolong come on to discuss whether they identify as Gen Z, what it was like to graduate on Zoom, and starting adulthood amidst a global pandemic. 

Sally, Linda, and Ming started Moving Oolong Podcast to share their stories and growing pains as recent college graduates from class of 2020. Their intersecting identities as Asian American women play a large role in shaping their experiences as young adults and hope this podcast acts as a time-capsule to remember and reflect on this time of transition in their lives.

Having your own space is something we’ve dreamed about since we were young. Being a homeowner just means you get to decorate it the way you like……right? This week we invited our friend to walk us through the fun stuff, and not-so-fun stuff she’s experienced in the last few years of owning her own space. Put on your construction hats and get your mops ready for some drywall mishaps, cleaning tips, and other maintenance stories!
