Growing up in Asian and Latino households, we navigated emotional terrains that often valued stoicism over feelings. We reflect on the process of unlearning negative patterns and the transformational power of saying "I feel."

Can we not?! My spicy newlywed friend Bianca and I delve into the complex topic of societal pressures and expectations around women's family planning decisions. She's married, I'm not. Yet we're feeling SO PRESSURED around the topic of babies. 

Why are we as a society so fixated on women in their 30s having babies, AND why are we so skeptical of our bodies ability to conceive post 30?  We discuss social media's unattainable standards, how to deal with questions that arise from genuine concern but lack sensitivity, and how to have open yet respectful communication with your female friends about their baby planning!

Ever feel  like you've fallen off God's VIP list and now you're too far gone?  Today's episode is all about self-forgiveness and ditching the pursuit of happiness to actually turn deeper towards God instead of away. 

For those moments when you side-eye the heavens and go, "God, seriously? I'm like the poster child for messing up!"  We'll unravel the vibes of inadequacy and dive into those times when we felt like we might have royally messed up on the heavenly dance floor.

Cue the dramatic music, because we're bringing in the heavyweights – Moses, Noah, and a squad of other "unqualified" heroes from the Bible. 

Cause let's be real, to err is human – and trust me, we've all done some divinely questionable stuff. And yes, we'll drop some wisdom nuggets on how to wrap ourselves in that forgiveness glow.

We dive a bit into the Buddist practice of just being present, and avoiding labeling experiences. We'll decode why putting the "good Christian" or "bad Christian" stamp on things might be cramping your divine style. Embracing the messy, the chaotic, and the fabulous, we're stepping into a world where every chapter is a stepping stone to our badass bitch era. 

Wrap it all up with the ultimate truth bomb – God hasn't painted us into a corner with a "permanent marker." We're a canvas of endless possibilities, babes, and trust me, He's got that masterpiece planned for us.

Get ready for a candid and heart-to-heart conversation. I'm joined by my incredible cousin Natalie, as we delve into her fertility journey, a path that took an unexpected received heartbreaking news about her sister's miscarriage. We toss around that well-intentioned but irksome phrase, "It's God's Plan," and unravel a tapestry of spiritual experiences that cover rose petals and even psychedelic mushrooms. 

Natalie updates us on her faith journey, Natalie shares a bit of her faith journey and her feeling of "connectedness" with God.  We even wander into the realm of a hypothetical joint session with Dave Chappelle, Kanye West, and Obama at the dinner table. Tune in for a raw, sassy, and sensitive exchange that might just redefine your perspective on life's twists and turns.

Tithing is a concept that often triggers side-eye. Did you know it's not even explicitly mentioned in the New Testament? In this episode we examine how we'll happily pay for TED Talks and networking events, but have difficulty giving to the spiritual places and communities we're apart of.  We chat about Paul the Apostle being the COO of a startup called Corinth and sending out pep talk emails about generosity and equality using the Macedonians as the poster child. We discover how God actually shapes us through our joyful, kickass giving despite it not always feeling feasible.
