Milk Before Cereal

What does leadership look like as a quieter, introverted person? Grace and Iris share recent reflections on competency versus charisma, differences in communication styles, and growing beyond our comfort zones.

Iris and Grace talk about a David Brooks' new book How to Know a Person, including topics like paying attention 100%, 8-second pauses, and the art of being deeply seen. Also, is cereal a soup?

Iris and Grace sit down in Christina's kitchen on a rainy afternoon to talk about mentorship. Halfway through, we realize the mic isn't on, so apologies for the audio quality.

In this episode, we share about our experiences with mentorship, what makes a good mentor, how we can grow as mentees, and how mentoring is connected to discipleship.

After a rather long hiatus, we're BACK with an episode recorded... several months ago.

This conversation features topics including handling criticism, maintaining hope in the midst of challenges, and some highlights from Grace's week in Korea.

It's been a couple months since the start of 2023, so we're sitting down to talk about our progress toward our goals for the year and what it looks like to pursue goals in a healthy way. This episode is all about personal growth, defining progress, and faithfulness through it all. 

As we jump into the new year, Iris and Grace spend some time reflecting on our favorite books, films, podcasts, and music from last year. Here's our 2022 Wrapped!

In true Grace and Iris fashion, this episode is being released 5+ days later than expected, so merry belated Christmas and happy new year! It's the content you've all been waiting for—our thoughts about dating, singleness, and relationships. As your resident singleness experts, we discuss everything from finding meaningful friendships to navigating the exciting world of dating apps.

This fall season of gratitude has brought about many thoughts about processing change, nostalgia versus regret, and hope for the future. In this episode, we spend some time reflecting on the passing of time. To quote this episode, "life changes, leaves are falling, and Christmas is coming." Happy Thanksgiving!

"Have you found a community?" We've been asked this question countless times since moving to new places post-grad. But what is a community, really? And why do we need it? In this episode, we ruminate on the core purpose of community and the changes we have experienced after college.

One of their last conversations before Iris’ big move, today’s episode is all about travel. What lessons can be learned from moving, what good is there in staying put, and how can we be present in the places we visit? Also, birds and hot air balloons.
