  • #037: Taylor | Doing things for their own sake

    Ya'll... I lost the first half of the audio. BUT this is still a fantastic conversation with Taylor!

    We talk about doing things for their own sake, how our environment gives us freedom, how to be genuinely yourself, the value of consistency, dealing with perfectionism and more. Sorry about the audio quality. I promise the content is worth it :)

    Hi. 

    How's life treating you? 

    I've really been enjoying doing this podcast on Saturday mornings. Getting to know someone new over a cup of tea is a real treat. We have Aria on the pod today! We talk all things med school (cos girl's about to be a certified doc!) and share about the good old high school days, and the mentors that made a difference in our lives. Oh also, we learn about Aria's love for the arts and broadway. It's great. 

    Enjoy!!

    Hey friends,

    Your girl is back after a week long hiatus :) 

    Tiffany drops some truth bombs on the pod today. We talk everything from seeing our parents as humans, lessons learnt in her 20s, and how to live life in a more authentic way. And let me tell ya, I was on top of the world by the end of our conversation. 

    Listen to this every time you need a pick-me-up. Tiffany's cheering you on.

    Salutations. 

    Gladys here :)

    Stranger-turned-friend, Tim, joins the pod this week! It's late so I'm typing this with foggy brain.

    Tim's an empathetic nurse (aren't they all?). And boy is he a curious cat, just bursting with curiosity and wanting to learn about anything and everything. He also shares about how hard it is to make internet friends. There are some solid ghosters out there, you guys. Don't fall for them because they will leave you high and dry at a random bus terminal. Oh, and Tim loves escape rooms. LOVES them. And he's good at them.

    Anyway, enjoy this one. I had a ton of fun recording it!

    Good day, good strangers. 

    Gladys here :)

    Stranger-turned-friend, Aron, joins the pod this week from Germaaany! It's funny because I call him Luiggi the entire time. Anyway, Aron and I talk about the wonders of curiosity, being in nature, the opportunities of self-learning thanks to the internet, what we learnt from our mothers, our coming out story, and mooooore! So get a cup of tea, sit back, relax, and come along for the ride.

    Hiyaaa! 

    Gladys here :) 

    Stranger-turned-friend, Ryan, joins the pod this week... all the way from Australia! First off, I could listen to that voice forever. Second off, Ryan goes deep on his chronic illnesses and the hellish journey he went through to get to where he is now. Talking to him was a breath of fresh air. It's rare to find people, let alone 20-somethings that have the level of patience and maturity and self-awareness he has. Oh also, I'm mad that Ryan told me about his erotica fiction writing hobby right towards the end of the pod so stick around for that. Anyway, put on your headphones, get some tea, and get comfortable with us. I think you'll really love this one.
