Hello thoughties, old and new! Welcome to our very last episode of Season 1 of Thought Daughter. Can you believe we’re here after 20 episodes cause we absolutely can’t believe it’s gone this fast. This week, we wanted to leave you with some lessons we’ve learned along the way in our 20’s, to commemorate the end of the year with some solid self-reflection but also as a love letter to our younger selves (and to anyone out there who might be going through the same things). We hope these lessons are as impactful to you as they were to us and if you have anything you’ve learned this year that has stuck with you deeply, please let us know — we’d love to hear it.

Lastly, thank you for taking the time to listen, to watch, to reflect, to think, and to follow us through our podcast journey. We wish you the happiest holiday season and can’t wait to see you all next year.

xx, Sam and Sowon (your favorite thought daughters)

Good morning thoughties! We’ve been having some pretty hard hitting, kind of emo episodes lately (that’s the impact of being in Seattle!) so we’re switching it up with something fun and light: the art of flirting. The basics of how to flirt, how our cultural backgrounds influenced our flirting techniques and our own personal nuances in how we flirt — we’re breaking it all down this week just in case you’re anything like us and are still figuring out how to master the art of attraction.

Greetings from Seattle! Home of Grey’s Anatomy, Starbucks and yet another seriously emo episode from Thought Daughters. Today we’re talking about grief and heartbreaks, whether it’s romantic, platonic or mourning someone who has passed, this episode is all about how to process the loss of someone we once — or maybe still do — loved. We discuss how betrayal and heartache changes the very fabric of your identity and how you walk through the world after the fact. Today’s hot take is that women oftentimes feel the effects of a loss before men do; sound off in the comments if you agree or disagree and why. We encourage you to tell someone you love them today or send a text to a friend you haven’t spoken to in a while. Life is too short to be nonchalant about your capacity for love.

Good afternoon thoughties! This week we’re talking about victim mentalities and how our tendencies to feel bad about ourselves perpetuate negative narratives. Sometimes, it takes tough love to be able to snap out of whatever reality we find ourselves in. Whether it’s understanding that no one else can save you from yourself or the way we keep negative stories alive by giving power to it over ourselves. We might not be able to change what other people do to us but we can only control what is in our scope of accountability. This episode gets deep as we talk about our cultural upbringing, inner child healing and setting boundaries.

What’s up thoughties? This week we’re talking about how imposter syndrome has impacted us and how terrifying it can feel to be so sure of your dreams and at the same time feel like you doubt your own self’s capabilities. We get deep on our own histories of imposter syndrome and how, despite how we show up on this podcast, we still struggle sometimes with our own perceptions of self and how we show up in the world. Recently, we both went through a hypnotherapy session and we discuss the lessons we got out of connecting with our subconscious. We get giggly, serious, sentimental and more in this episode — pretty much sums up our experience being thought daughters.

What’s up thoughties? Our filming days have been SO CHAOTIC lately but they’ve absolutely been the most fun to film. This week we’re talking about our opinions on social media, is it actually that deep or is it not?

We discuss everything from the pursuit of art on the internet, negative sides of being online, performative friendships and why Sowon and Sam could never be full time influencers (tldr: we’re lazy sometimes ok). Sam discusses for the first time ever, her first time going viral and why the internet can be a scary place sometimes. While Sowon reflects on the importance of making an idea come to life at the right time.

We also talk about how social media influences dating, why it’s a trigger for some relationships and how to tell if the guy you’re seeing has a wandering eye. Stay until the second half of the episode to hear us rant about friendship icks we have both on and offline and why you shouldn’t idolize people you think are cool on the internet.

There’s a lottt of hot takes in this episode but we hope you can be open-minded and enjoy the discourse in this episode with us.

What’s up thoughties? This week, we’re trying something new and diving into some philosophical questions regarding power, love, fear, morality, loyalty, education  and everything in between. These are some great questions to ask some of your closest friends/loved ones and chat all night about your own perceptions. Let us know what you think and if we should do more topic based discussions like these!

What’s up thoughties? We’re back in America and finally back in our old set up. Today we’re talking all about masculine and feminine energies, whether that applies to dating or friendships. We touch on the importance of having a balance of both energies within your life, why dominant women trigger unsecured masculines and the cultural shift from the “boss, hustler” mentality to the soft life girlie. We also talk about presenting the idea to a partner that we don’t want a 50/50 relationship and our standards of having children with men. We also discuss the discourse between finding the “perfect partner” when we ourselves are imperfect people.As always, follow @thoughtdaughterpod across all socials and leave a comment/question in the Thought Box if you’d like us to talk about certain topics!

What’s up thoughties? We’re coming at you live for the first time from Siargao, Philippines. Our brains were in total island vibes this episode so we have a slower pace of conversation this week but on this pod we catch you up on island life and spiritual beliefs. We had our soju, or birth charts, read while we were in Korea and we discuss superstitions, dark energy and our support for Elon Musk. Also our hot take of the week is: we think we should stop bagging on people who don’t travel outside of America since it’s freaking huge. Let’s talk about it!

Welcome to Seoul, thoughties! For the first time ever, we’re switching up our usual set up to bring you guys internationally while we talk about our Korea experience: Sam as a two-time Seoul visitor and Sowon as a born and raised Korean-American. This episode is a bit all-over-the-place but that’s how we roll so what else is new? We discuss the impact of beauty standards as a minority and how impossible standards might sometimes lead to dangerous habits, our views on plastic surgery and if we would go under the knife, and how being an Asian-American has played a role in our development of selves. Tune into this episode to see who Sam’s K-Pop bias is and what Filipino food Sowon will dare to try.
