For some weird reason we agreed to let our boyfriends interview us for our podcast so you can get to know us more. We start with Alex and her boyfriend Malcolm, who grills her on everything from their interracial relationship, what she would do if money wasn't an issue, her worst habits, and throws in some fun questions such as her cartoon crushes, embarrassing moments, favourite writers, and childhood idols. For some cute and cringey video footage, check out the video on our Youtube Restless Podcast!

In this episode, Alex and Alexis dive into their restlessness around choosing which career to take. As women in their late 20s, they question whether to be practical or to follow their dreams.

Restless with Alex and Alexis  explores our inability to feel settled in a world that wants us to decide once and for all who we are supposed to be.  As millennials taught to choose a path OR choose a life that isn't meaningful, we explore our struggle choosing between defining our purpose and learning how to be still in a world of constant unrest.

Tune in to hear us discuss issues we are both passionate and restless about, including our personal experiences, careers and how we find meaning in life, and seeking authenticity versus popularity in art, films and literature. Let us know what you are restless about on our instagram @restlesspod  - we'd love to hear from you.
