January 11, 2023 22. A Look Ahead at 2023
Happy New Year 🥂! The start of a new year is always a hopeful time full of anticipation for what’s to come and goals/resolution setting. We talk about both what we’re excited about and what we’re dreading in 2023 - From our last term as students to grad trips to moving to new cities. We’ve historically not been the best at keeping up with New Year's Resolutions… So this year, we talk through our answers using some guiding prompts to help us determine what our focuses and goals are for the year.

November 11, 2022 19. The One About Friendships
While discussion on romantic relationships is often more popular in media, we often overlook and take for granted relationships that have just as much influence and impact on our lives: friendships. What are red and green flags for a friend? Can you continue to be friends after feelings have been involved? Have you ever "broken up" with a friend? In this episode, we look back on some of our experiences building, maintaining, and sometimes having to let go of our friends.
(If you're a friend who's listening to this, thank you for being in our lives, this one is dedicated to y'all <3)

October 12, 2022 18. Getting Over a Breakup
Heartbreak 💔 is never easy yet is a reality that most people will experience at least once in their lives. Fortunately, you can come out of it stronger and better. In this episode, Emily shares how she was able to process, heal, and ultimately move on after experiencing the loss of a 3 year relationship. That said, the phases of heartbreak can be universal to the feelings of grief, failure, and loss. Whether you’re going through one of the above or not, we hope this episode can help.

September 28, 2022 17. The American vs Canadian College Experience (Ft. Michael and Larry)
This summer, we were fascinated by the stories about college from our American 🇺🇸 friends and how much that differed from the Canadian 🇨🇦 university experience. So we decided to invite two of them, Michael (from Rice University) and Larry (from Duke University) onto the podcast to give us a glimpse into their college lives including frat life, “tenting” for basketball game seats and switching majors three times.

Sit down with us as we dive into something we've never talked with each other about before: physical appearance.
In this episode, we talk about some of the insecurities we grew up with, how our relationship with body image and self esteem changed over time, as well as how we were able to become more comfortable and confident in our own skin.

July 06, 2022 14. Finding Work-Life Balance
As we get into the swing of our summer internships (this time returning to the office), finding work-life balance has been on our minds. What does having a work-life balance look like? How do you achieve it? We share our thoughts on work-life balance, and how the meaning of it has evolved over time (ex. WFH vs. in person).
