  • S2E6 | Rejection or Redirection?

    More often than not, rejection is seen as a bad thing - something that took us down, forced us to deal with certain emotions, and made us place our value in the hands of someone or something else. But, can we use that rejection and turn it into redirection? Tune in to hear us talk about rejections in our professional and personal lives and how we’ve adapted to embrace the “rejection is redirection” mentality over the years.

  • S2E4 | The Little Things
    Too often in our lives, we choose to define ourselves by the “big things” that make us who we are. This includes what we studied, what we do for work, our extrovertedness/introvertedness, etc. In this episode, we choose to focus on the little things that we do often which make us who we are. Little things for the greater good, for greater connection with others, and for ourselves. We hope you enjoy this light hearted, fun conversation and think about the little things that make YOU who you are!

  • S2E3 | Is Hustle Culture Toxic?
    More often than not, we seem to live by hustle culture - putting in those extra hours, working relentlessly and sacrificing our personal lives to achieve professional goals. While on one hand this could lead to moving up the professional ladder, it can also lead to burnout, an unhealthy lifestyle, and the idea that we can only fulfill ourselves by grinding. During this episode, we try to figure out if hustle culture is actually toxic and how we can go about overcoming it, if so.

  • S2E2 | Why Are Routines Important?
    During times of uncertainty, one of the few things we have power and control over are our daily routines. In today’s episode, we dive into what our current routines are, why routines are important for us, the good habits we try to keep consistent and how you can make a routine stick. We talk about how our daily habits have benefited us personally this past year and summarize the findings from research...is it really what it is?

  • S2E1 | Can People Really Change?
    We're back for Season 2! And we've made some changes...oh, speaking of change; how realistic is it? Is it really possible to change who we are and our core values? Is "fake it until you make it" an effective strategy? If no one was around, would we make half the changes we do? Once a cheater...always a cheater? On today's episode, Juhi and Kavya dive into their thoughts on these big questions, their personal experiences with change over the last few years and how they've personally made changes in their life actually stick. To wrap it up, they take a look at what the research says so far on our deepest question yet...can people really change?

  • Episode 12 | 2020 Wrapped
    2020 is FINALLY over. Almost. For some of us, this year brought many unforeseen challenges and hardships. But hopefully for all of us it also brought new joys, lessons and things to be thankful for. And a lot of reflection. This week we bring to you our 2020 year in review...but with a little spice! We ask each other questions that we don’t know the answers to, and learn about all the good and bad that 2020 brought us alongside the things we’re looking forward to in 2021. Happy listening, and happy new year!

  • Episode 11 | Things I’ve Learned In My Post-Grad Life
    It's already been half a year since we graduated from college!

This episode we're reflecting on how it's been and sharing with you guys the 8 things we both experienced during our first few months as early professionals! Is it really as glamorous as it's said to be? Did our social life decline significantly? Does imposter syndrome fade away? Find out on today's episode!

  • Episode 10 | The City That Never Sleeps
    Imagine this: you're 22 years old. You just moved to the most iconic city in the world. You go to Columbia University. You hit the books during the day, but at night - a whole city filled with a plethora of cultures, rooftop bars, coffee shops (central perk anyone?), yellow cabs and loud honks, and art -- is waiting for you. This is pretty much the life of our wonderful guest today, Sudiksha! Join our conversation as we find out what life has really been like moving to NYC (during a pandemic?!), going to Columbia, starting a new chapter ALL ALONE - and if NYC really lives up to its TV hype. Xoxo - Gossip girl.
