Join us as we talk to (okay, maybe interrogate) one of our guy friends Jason about his dating experiences in NYC and Hong Kong, the grey zone of defining relationships, commitment, love languages, dating red (and orange) flags, and what it means to go long-distance.

Remember the days when you got out of school, went home, and booted up your computer to talk to SmarterChild on AOL and play Neopets? 

Or watch reruns of Hey Arnold, Boy Meets World, and Cyberchase (PBS fam, what’s up)? 

Or attend Scholastic Book Fairs and peel scratch-and-sniff stickers?

What a time to be alive. We reminisce about our childhood and what we want to bring back!

In time for post V-Day, we bare it all with our spiciest answers including, but not limited to, love for yaoi manga, back-up underwear, embarrassing fantasies, strip clubs, and much much more.  

Enjoy 😈

"I have to know everything, I will work harder than before, I don't need anyone's help..." Raise your hand if you've ever felt or said any of these phrases. ✋

We are so excited to share this with our listeners, as you all hear raw, behind-the-scenes stories of how we've felt and tackled with imposter syndrome at work as a person of color in predominantly male-identifying spaces & within our daily lives as women.

Feel free to leave us a note if any of these stories resonated with you! 

Let’s get the $$$ folks! We talk about our budgeting and investing strategies, common cultural and family perceptions on handling money, and our 2021 financial goals.

We know money is a hard conversation to talk about for some people, so we hope sharing our perspective can spark some inspiration to take control of your finances & BUILD THAT GENERATIONAL WEALTH.

And this is our last episode of 2020! We sit down and reflect on how we've felt this year has went, our "plans" for 2021, and our individual self-reflection & growth through the years.

How has your 2020 been? Let's give ourselves a pat on the back (and some self-love) for persisting through this rough year. Here's to hoping next year will be ever better. 

On this very special day - the Winter Solstice and Great Conjunction - we bring to you the last part of our 36 Questions.

Series 3 is about us finding common ground, what we look for in our partners, and how we set boundaries.   

Send us a message on Instagram (instagram.com/uncheckedpodcast) or drop us an email (@ [email protected]) if you'd like to share what spicy questions you have asked your partner or loved one!

In this episode, we continued through the 36 question series (created by psychologist Arthur Aron) in an effort to learn more about each other.  

Series 2 covers the middle set of 11 questions - where we share our dreams and goals for the future, what we seek for in friendship and in a romantic relationships, as well as speaking about our family dynamics.   

We are going in on this episode so join us with the beverage of your choice! Series III coming in a future episode. ❤️

Don't look behind you.

Get ready for an episode full of the supernatural. We share our most personal ghost stories, from your not-so-friendly spirit from jail that haunted Rosa's childhood home, to phantoms in Lima luring you to your deaths, to murder in the middle of the night of a Hong Kong hotel room. 

Take a listen, but only if you dare. Sweet dreams, everyone.
