Magnetic Mismatch

As a young adult in your 20s, the world is still full of possibilities, excitement, and everything is still so new, waiting to be discovered. It's also a time when you might not really know who you are, what you stand for or what you want out of life yet, and that's totally OK. In this episode, Will & Linda have fun discussing what they wish they knew in their 20s now that they are "smarter and wiser" in their 30s. We hope to share important lessons, habits, and perspectives that we've learned through our experiences and maybe help you with your journey no matter what age or where you are right now in life.

Are you taking care of yourself regularly? Whether it's a relaxing day at the spa, a energetic workout or just a nice chat over coffee with friends, it's critical to practice self care. Life can get so busy that sometimes we forget to pay attention to our own well-being, and this can have a major impact on our relationships as well as our overall health. In this episode, Linda & Will discuss what self care means to them from the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects. They share how they've learned the importance of self care in order to be at their best for their loved ones and best serve the world.

Does money buy you happiness? It certainly is a big part of our lives, and we work every day to obtain more. Yet, have you ever truly taken the time and effort to ask yourself exactly why you get up every day to work for money? What makes you happy, and how much money do you really need to make that happen? Linda & Will share their thoughts about money growing up, and how that changed over time as they became aware of their own limiting beliefs.

Let's face it, marriage is TOUGH! No matter how much you may love each other in the early stages of your relationship, life happens and things change. No one decides to get married expecting the relationship to fail, but the reality is that sometimes it just doesn't end up working out as planned. That's why we believe that it's important to at least discuss and consider if a prenup might be in the best interest of both you, your partner, and kids/loved ones. It's a touchy subject to be sure, so we discuss the pros & cons of a prenup and how to approach having a conversation with your future spouse.

Should you have a traditional or modern wedding? If you're like us, we wanted our special day to not only be memorable, but also make sure that our parents feel like they had their input as well. Not an easy task! Growing up in America with Asian immigrant parents, we definitely struggled with finding a balance between having a more modern western style wedding, and including more traditional elements from our cultural heritage. In this episode, we share some hilarious stories about Will's clash with his mom including picking auspicious dates, guest size, tea ceremony, and superstitious rituals.
