Rock Paper Cilantro

In this session we sat down with a fresh graduate of the educational system to discuss a multitude of topics. We avoided the outright shitting of the system but we couldn’t help ourselves. It just goes to show you how badly educational reform is needed in the West considering it’s perceived as an ideal place to study abroad by those in the East especially by aspiring students from India.

There were some great insights that came forward through storytelling and some wonderfully relatable gems will shine through as you listen. Among other topics, we touched on practical opportunities overlooked by the system, teachers working for a paycheque, financing your education, the potential of chatGPT as a learning aid, and fading dreams in the Arts as a result of generative AI.

Change is the only constant and with that, one of life's certainties are the curveballs you face in your journey. You can go through them alone or with your community. The approach you take depends heavily on sound self-awareness.

We sat down to dissect different perspectives on sharing, what we continually seek to navigate our lives and how trust can play a vital role in that effort.

Life can be challenging, and it's important to be vulnerable around what weighs us down. We delve into the depths of mental health, discussing its significance and impact. We candidly explore our own struggles, addressing the issues that keep us up at night. We also reflect on our conversation and gain valuable insights into the world of mental well-being.

Parenting often crosses our minds and we generally have numerous conversations offline about it so we thought let's put them on the podcast. Listen in as we start with sharing some parenting techniques and contrast them with how we were brought up. We share some stories along the way and dissect some blind spots + challenges that younger parents may be facing as they look to break toxic cycles THEIR parents may have been entrenched with.

We've certainly dropped the ball as far as frequency of sessions is concerned but rest assured, we were occupied-ish. And so with that, we're back reflecting on episodes 8 through 11. Among the things we reflect on is quality and future topics etc. Before listening, take a look at past sessions because context is sure to be missing. Hopefully it's not a total waste of your time...

As the COVID 19 pandemic rages on with Omicron strangling the world, we sit down to discuss personal lessons we've learned along the way. A common theme has emerged during all this which is to say that the abundance of time has for better or worse, provided a chance to reflect. We hope that you've had a chance to do that as well.

Join us as we take an introspective look at our own communication skillsets from verbal, active listening, written and body language based observations. We also try and figure out how we're all horrible communicators in life and what we could do if anything to marginally improve that. As always, thanks for listening.

We cover the importance of Self Care, as we discuss the benefits, why it's so difficult to maintain or even start, and the ways we can overcome the struggles because it's ultimately for ourselves.

Conversing about skincare, sleep, posture, and other things we suck at, we talk about making this life the BEST it can be by painstakingly crafting the BEST version of ourselves.

Fuck COVID

We reflect on our journey thus far in this podcast session as we share our experience, thoughts, feelings, learnings, possibilities and future prospects.
