What happens when you stop caring about the things that once felt so important?

In this episode, we talk about getting older, getting tired… and surprisingly, getting freer.

From canceling plans without guilt to choosing comfort over “looking cool,” we explore the quiet (and sometimes hilarious) ways our priorities have shifted over time. We even play a game: Would Younger You Approve? — and the answers say a lot.

We also get into:

• Why we care less about trends, appearances, and social pressure
• The things we still care way too much about (yes… dishwasher loading counts)
• Career ambition, identity, and what we wish we let go of earlier
• The strange mix of freedom and exhaustion that comes with age

Somewhere between wisdom and just being too tired for nonsense… we’ve landed here.

And honestly? It’s not a bad place to be.

💬 What’s something you’ve stopped caring about as you’ve gotten older?

Ronit and WizCate take on one of life’s biggest experiments: raising kids.

From cultural expectations to real-life chaos, they talk about what they thought parenting would be like… and what actually happened.

They get into:

• Raising kids across cultures (Hong Kong, U.S., France)
• The gap between expectations and reality
• Why siblings can be completely different humans
• Teenagers, hormones, and survival strategies
• The things they worried about that didn’t matter
• The small moments that mattered the most
• Letting go vs staying close
• And the one thing they’d do differently

Plus:

• The “50-second parenting rule”
• Lamb bedtime stories with hidden life lessons
• Why “don’t waste food” becomes a lifelong value
• And a Cantonese translation fail that turned into “eating poop will kill you” 😅

No scripts. No perfect answers. Just real stories from two moms figuring it out as they went.

💬 We’d love to hear from you:
What’s your funniest (or most chaotic) parenting moment?

Menopause is something everyone has heard of…
but very few people actually understand until they go through it.

In this episode, we talk about the real experience — from physical changes to the emotional side that can catch you completely off guard.

We share what surprised us, what was harder than expected, and what actually helped.

It’s not a guide. It’s not advice.

It’s just a real conversation.

What happens when you try to guess the news based only on headlines?

Chaos.

In this episode, we react to bizarre real-world stories, from sheeptaking over supermarkets to deep-sea creatures and stolen KitKats. Somewherealong the way, we question morality, survival, and… how toilets work in space.

It’s weird. It’s unfiltered. It’s very us.

Press play if you want something light, ridiculous, and unexpectedlythoughtful.

What is expat life actually like, beyond the Instagram version?

In this episode, we’re joined by Ronit’s daughter, who has been living in Korea for over four years. From teaching kids to navigating cultural expectations, she shares what surprised her most about living abroad.

We get into the reality of expat communities, cultural misunderstandings, food differences, and the small everyday things that make life in Korea feel completely different from the US.

It’s honest, funny, and occasionally chaotic, especially when a mother and daughter are involved.

Travel sounds exciting… until you’re actually doing it.

In this episode, we get into the real side of traveling—from airport stress and plane etiquette to weird food, packing struggles, and everything in between.

We also try a rapid fire round of travel questions, which goes exactly how you’d expect.

It’s messy, honest, and very unfiltered—just how we like it.

This week, we tried something new… and immediately proved we are not game designers.

From chaotic storytelling games that made zero sense, to ridiculous movie title mashups, to a surprisingly competitive Mahjong confession, this episode is what happens when two friends attempt “structured fun” and end up laughing their way through the mess.

We also revisit:
– The fish eye vs. Rocky Mountain oyster debate (yes, it’s back)
– Why game nights are some of the best memories you can make
– And how not understanding the rules might actually make things better

Sometimes the point isn’t winning… it’s the chaos along the way.

Do you still do game nights, or is this a lost art?

Spring feels like it should be the best season… but is it?

In this episode, we go back to our childhood memories of spring in Hong Kong and France, from chocolate Easter traditions to extreme humidity you can actually feel on furniture. Then we fast forward to life in the US, where spring means fake warm days, endless rain, mud season, and yes… ticks.

Lots of ticks.

Somehow we also end up talking about:
• Lily of the valley and French traditions
• Hiking season and Pacific Northwest weather chaos
• Why Maine spring is basically survival mode
• And whether lotion might secretly be the best tick repellent

Spring is beautiful… in theory.

Kids are weird.
And if we’re honest… we were too.

In this episode, we share the strange, gross, and hilarious things we did growing up, from snot walls and smell tests to fart jokes and food experiments that probably shouldn’t have happened.

Somewhere along the way, we all learned what’s “acceptable.” But did we really change… or just get better at hiding it?

A chaotic, funny, and slightly uncomfortable trip down memory lane.

In this episode, we talk about one book that truly changed my life.

After reading Dancing with Life by Phillip Moffitt, I started to see things differently—how I react to situations, how I hold onto emotions, and how much of my own suffering I was actually creating without realizing it.

We get into the idea of letting go, attachment, and what it really means to “dance with life” instead of trying to control every outcome. From relationships (including questionable ex-boyfriends 😄) to everyday frustrations, this conversation explores how a simple shift in perspective can bring a surprising sense of freedom.

It’s not about being perfectly calm or never losing it—it’s about what happens after, and how you choose to move forward.

If you’re into books, personal growth, or just figuring life out as you go… this one’s for you.

If you want something completely different, I also recommend The Ghost Map by Steven Johnson—a really intriguing true story about the cholera outbreak in Victorian London.
