We recorded this episode shortly after Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed; in honor of her legacy, we talk about how we can be more effective change makers by trying to engage effectively with people even if we don't share all the same beliefs. We're a bit late posting this, but it still feels pretty relevant to talk about bridging communities and trying to heal the divides among us.

For many, college is the first time they leave the nest and are given greater responsibility and independence. While some may initially struggle in this environment, many use this time as an opportunity to find oneself and blossom. In this episode, we talk about our social and academic experiences in colleges, what we wish we had done differently, and what we are glad we did.

Living alone someday is a dream for many. You get to decorate your space how you'd like. You can be as loud as you'd like (unless you live in an apartment building where you should probably be respectful to your neighbors). You can have solo dance parties, and no one will judge you. Despite all of the perks of living alone, sometimes reality doesn't meet your expectations. Here, we discuss when we first lived alone/traveled alone and our experiences doing so.  

We’ve all had moments where we need to find the courage to do something challenging or with unknown outcomes. We are faced with finding bravery within us, and in this episode, Heather, Emma, and Ashwini share anecdotes of when they've had to be brave, the outcomes, and the rewards. 

Entering and navigating the dating scene is a different experience for everyone. For some, their first kiss was absolutely magical, like a Disney movie...and for others, perhaps not. The three of us were somewhat late bloomers to the dating scene. We open up about our dating history and some of the pros & cons of being a late bloomer in romance. Plus, we share some killer love/hate songs, which you can find at: https://www.instagram.com/podcastwomanup/.

Confidence is a word that gets tossed around a lot, and it can often feel difficult to simply BE confident. In this episode, we are going to talk about our journey to becoming confident, and ~spoiler alert~ we are still in that process! We'll talk about our struggles with confidence, how we've become more active in nurturing our confidence, and what we admire in confident people.

We've probably all answered the question, "Where do you want to be in five years?" Now that we're in our twenties, we can look back at those plans, and see how they've helped us and how they've changed. In this episode, we talk about our plans five years ago, the plans we had when we were in high school, and how planning for the future changes as we age.
