  • Ep 10: Honest Thoughts On Starting A Podcast

    We’ve made it to the LAST episode of season 1 and we can’t believe it’s been 10 episodes already!

Thank you so much for all your support this year and we can’t wait to see what 2021 will bring to us and the Full Circle Podcast!

  • Ep 9: Goodbye 2020!

    And just like that, 2020 has come to an end! Today, we’ll be reflecting on the past year, our personal highlights and what we’ve learned from it, and the silver lining of this whole situation. The elephant in the room. The panny and growing through this pandemic. From BLM, starting new programs at school, to MOTHS ... a lot happened this year. I’m sure we’re all hearing the same thing over and over again about how 2020 was rough, and it definitely was an unforgettable year, but I think many of us experienced growth in ways we never expected.

  • Ep 8: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome

    Do you worry that you will be “found out”? Well if so, you might be suffering from imposter syndrome. Impostor syndrome is a psychological pattern in which an individual doubts their skills, talents or accomplishments and has a persistent internalized fear of being exposed as a "fraud". Imposter syndrome has become a term used more and more recently so we thought we would jump on the bandwagon and discuss our personal experiences with this common phenomenon.

  • Ep 7: Dangers of Hustle Culture

    When did performative workaholism become a lifestyle? When does “the grind” and the importance of “securing the bag” become too much? In this episode, we discuss the ~many~ dangers of hustle culture and tips on getting out of it. You see this all over IG; “rise and grind,” “hustle harder,” and “don’t stop when you’re tired, stop when you’re done.” Comparison & capitalism: the roots of all evil and why they are thieves of joy. We are much more than our productivity levels, careers and education. Learn to slow down and ~romanticize~ your life 🤍
