I finished my first year, and also turned 25! I reflect on my growth, identity, and things I've been thinking and feeling recently—e.g., nostalgia, grieving the past, my love for NYC, what it means to be "young," how I want to live the second half of my twenties, etc. Lots of gratitude for being in this program and working towards my dream career, having the time and space to grow in my identity outside of work, and feeling closer to my "true" self.

In this episode, I reflect on feelings about moving out of my first adult home in Boston, and moving into my new home in NYC. In this season of major life transition, I talk about my recently developed fear of forgetting past memories and my hopes to hold onto and cherish happy and important moments of life.

Recorded in Shanghai, I share some life updates, like quitting my job, (turning 24, which I forgot to mention) and enjoying my summer of freedom in Asia! I reflect about the last months at my job, and what I learned from therapy this spring. With all my time and freedom to think now, I also share some thoughts, questions, and feelings I've been having about the passage of time, self growth over time, nostalgia, and memories.

I can't believe it but I got into grad school and am officially going to become a psychologist (in 6 years)! I'll be moving back to NYC this fall! Life is so crazy, and I am so happy :)

Today is my 23rd birthday! Since the start of this year brought a huge unexpected change to my work, I reflect on my feelings about being 23, and things I've been struggling with lately.

As this year comes to a close, I share some of my top 2023 highlights and reflections! Thank you all for listening and being with me this year. Happy holidays and see you in 2024 :)

I moved!! In this episode, I talk about some feelings that are sparked by moving to a new home, including the weight of adulthood responsibility. I also reflect on my experience with my job so far and the current state of my academic/career goals.

I've been in Boston for 5 months now! I've gotten kinda used to living in the routine of a peaceful and "boring" life, and this past week I've fallen into a bit of an unmotivated slump. I finally get myself to record an episode, so I examine some of my feelings around this transition to a mundane life (e.g. changes in how I see my identity now that I'm significantly less social and my life is more insular).

Recorded in Boston, I talk about moving, leaving my old job and finding a new job, and settling into my new life! In the slower pace of a peaceful suburban neighborhood, I muse about my deeper level interests, goals, and purpose. I seek to understand my own identity through different threads of what I find fulfilling, as well as what I've been interested in and influenced by throughout my life so far. 

In my first episode of 2023, I share some life updates for the new year, including moving out of New York! I wrap up some reflections about 2022, which was an overwhelmingly eventful year. I also look forward to finding more peace and fulfillment in the new year, especially as I finally start to work towards my true goal of becoming a clinical psychologist!
