October 04, 2022 E28. Generation Why? (Ft. Stella Chau)
They say only time can tell, and time has been a factor for many changes in social values and behaviours. Gen Y aka “Millennials” can also be known as “Generation Experience”, are members of a cohort between the years of 1980 and 1995.
So what “experiences” have millenials collected that are distinct from the generation that succeed them? This week on the podcast, Jessie’s younger sister Stella joins the podcast to discuss with the girls what her gen Z experience has been like.
The girls analyse their “generational experiences” and what a difference of four years in age can create for each individual. Do you relate to the life experiences and social values of Mary, Jessie or Stella? Tune in and let us know.

September 20, 2022 E27. A skeptic and a perfectionist
A skeptic and a perfectionist walk into a bar...the perfectionist said "it's set too low" and the skeptic replies with "there's no way of knowing for sure because your standards could either be lower or higher for someone else" and they both sit there confused and anxious.
Welcome back to another week with Messie Minds! This week we put to the test another type of personality test to see if it can really explain our true psyches. Enneagrams have a way of looking deeper into the way we as individuals perceive the world.
Have you completed a test? Do you think it rings true to who you are? Join us as we explore how this method of categorizing people and personalities helps us understand who are really are.

September 13, 2022 E26. I think a cult tried to recruit me?
This week, Mary's main character moment not only scarred her for life but inspired us to take on one of the biggest issues with young adults navigating the world. Why is it so hard to make new friends as adults?
The girls talk about their worries when it comes to initiating and maintaining friendships that are new and why they don't particularly last like the ones you form when you're a child. Should Mary give her "new friend" Naomi a chance to explain herself or should she run for the hills screaming "CULT ALERT"?

Tune in this week and let her know what you think she should do.

August 30, 2022 E24. Me: Let's try something new. Also me: :S
Have you ever sat there and listened to the two voices in your head having a conversation with one another? One side of you is saying "Let's go and try something new, maybe you'll find something enjoyable and fun to do" whilst the other is saying "you're not going to be good at it anyway, people are going to judge you for it"? Cos, same.
This week, Mary and Jessie unpack the week that has been and talk about their experiences post trying a new activities for the first time and the anxiety that comes with it or doing things for the first time as an adult. The fear of being judged or not being good at something is totally robbing our joy in life and the girls are just hoping they're not alone in this. Tune in to find out more!

August 23, 2022 E23. Doing My Job Is Called "Quiet Quitting" Now?
Once in a while, we all tell ourselves little white lies to gas it up a bit but there's some of us who take it a notch too far and create a warped reality. This week, a hot new bombshell enters the villa, meet "Blowfish", the sea loving cousin of the classic "Catfish".

We discuss the new term "Blowfishing" and where we have encountered them before. Mary gets riled up about the negative connotations that follow the term "Quiet Quitting" and how her new chosen lifestyle is being seen as laziness. Our mental health is important but we're not about to sit here and let people say that "setting boundaries" is being considered lazy, so let's get it straight on this week's episode.

August 16, 2022 E22. What would you tell your 15 year old self?
We always say that we never regret the things that happened in our past lives but what if you could go back and change it all?
What advice would you give your teenage self in the face of adversity?

This week, we reflect on their experiences post "Laurinda" and how the themes in the storyline mirror those in our own lives. Join us as we travel down the rabbit hole of our own experiences with racism, bullying, growing up in an Asian household and the simple joys of adolescence.
We are grateful to Diana Nguyen, Petra Kalive, the cast of Laurinda and Melbourne Theatre Company for bringing to life our stories and will continue to support those who give us a voice and a place on the main stage.

August 09, 2022E21. Little Miss Self-inducing Anxiety 😣
Hello friends 👋, long time no see!
We're back after a long break from recording and routines, a couple of weeks of surviving the icy Melbourne winters and the waves (& continuing) of colds, flus and covid! There was just too much going on in the last couple of weeks, so Mary and Jessie sit down this week to seriously unpack the mess.
Kim Kardashian & Pete Davidson's breakup is totally a Kris Jenner PR stunt to cover up the fact that Khloe decided to have another baby with serial cheater Tristan Thompson. 😖

Are we just too old or is Instagram's "trial change" a big no?

We're here to post self-identifying Little Miss memes, too tired to socialise but desperate to be acknowledged and too terrified to be truly seen kinda vibes. 🙃

What to do when you're experiencing "Birthday Depression" HIP HIP HOORAY!

Jessie candidly shares an experience that we all go through at least once in our lifetime, you go Glen Coco!

Unpacking funny little icks and ughs with "They're a # but they..." rating game.
Strap yourselves in my friends, because this episode is a serious 10 but she's a long one.

Toodles xx

We are back from our seasons break with a special surprise episode discussing the pop culture sensation that people wont shut up about, STRANGER THINGS. We are people.

June 21, 2022 E20. When you get caught...👀
Just when you think you're in the clear and it's safe to come out into public, you're suddenly betrayed by your own mind and consciousness. That's it, everyone knows you did it. You dirrrrrty, diiiirty gal. 👀
On this week's episode, Mary shares her main character humiliation about getting caught in public with *beep*. Jessie's anxiety soars through the roof and the girls can't go anywhere without holding Google's hand.
Can you relate to any of our awkward moments?
