July 30, 2022 #91: Let's BeReal About Deleting Instagram
Another episode about Instagram??? At least it’s not manifestation! “End Instagram” has been all over our feeds- and with good reason. Not only does the algorithm not work for anyone (except to show us ads), Instagram is basically Tik Tok at this point. On this week’s episode, Nadine and Tarini discuss how Instagram is going the way of Facebook- trying to do too much, eventually not doing anything well, and losing even the one thing it did do well. Instagram, in their humble opinion, should stay in its lane as a photo sharing app. In the meantime, tune in next week for an update on Nadine’s insta-cleanse and Tarini’s update on the Riverdale season finale (if you know you know). Stream this week’s episode wherever you listen to your podcast, watch on YouTube at You Know What I Mean?

July 16, 2022 #90: Don’t Tell Us You Have Curly Hair Unless...
On this week’s episode, Nadine and Tarini discuss all things curly hair. But not how to take care of it (Ashley Tisdale already put out a video on that- IYKYK). Instead, it’s about how curly hair is trendy and how it feels for people who have struggled with their hair forever. And while it may be trendy, when non-white people have curly hair it’s still regarded as unruly, unkempt, unprofessional. Not only that, it’s often shown as the “before” in makeovers and in movies, used as a way to denote characters as lower class, dirty, and often ugly. Listen to hear all their thoughts on curly hair, how it’s represented, and why they ***will*** be gatekeeping (refer to Ashley Tisdale’s curly hair tutorial).

July 08, 2022 #89: The Most Controversial Topic on Earth: Women’s Bodies (Pt.2- Reshaping Minds Instead Of Bodies)
On last week’s episode, Nadine and Tarini discussed the implications of overturning Roe v. Wade in the U.S. and its impact around the world. This week’s episode continues the conversation in a different way. Women’s bodies are constantly policed, whether through policy or in media. This week’s episode explores not just the political implication on women’s bodies but the social structures through which women and their bodies are conditioned to look, act, and feel.

July 01, 2022 #88: The Most Controversial Topic on Earth: Women’s Bodies (Part 1- Roe v Wade)
The last week in politics has been… harrowing to say the least. The over turning of Roe v. Wade- which protects the right to an abortion- casts a dark shadow on the work countless people have been doing to push equality and democracy for everyone- especially those most marginalized. On this week’s episode, Nadine and Tarini discuss what this means on a larger scale. Women’s bodies have been up for grabs in every facet of society. Whether it’s media, fashion, politics, family, and society at large, women’s bodies have been controlled in some way, shape, and form - and all of them are harmful. It is with a heavy heart they discuss the impact this has on women but specifically marginalized communities whose intersectional identities render them most vulnerable.

June 10, 2022 #87: What Have You Heard About Heard?
Even if you haven’t kept up with it- you’ve kept up with it (just ask Tarini). The Amber Heard vs Johnny Depp trial has been all over social media and it seems that everyone has an opinion. On this week’s episode, Tarini and Nadine discuss some of these opinions they’ve seen online. This trial got so messy in the court of social media, it’s hard to tell what is what. Although the support seemed to be overwhelmingly in Depp’s favour, the question of abuse from both sides is abundantly clear. What makes it murky is when people try to claim whose abuse is valid - and why. Listen to this week’s episode as Nadine and Tarini *try* to not have an opinion on this case and unpack the many narratives being spread online about this highly publicized trial.

May 28, 2022 #86: What Matters Is The Journey and The Destination
Nadine and Tarini are feeling anxious. What about? They’re not sure. On this week’s episode they talk about understanding the root cause of their anxiety, letting go of the “all or nothing” mindset, and question the famous saying: “what matters is the journey, not the destination” - isn’t the destination what we’re all working towards anyway? Also featured: Tarini’s **packed** to-do list and an overstretched analogy involving airports and travel checkpoints.

May 20, 2022 #85: Take It To The Polls
Surprise! We're back after a quick hiatus!
Nadine talks about voting in the Lebanese elections for the first time with her family, leading to a conversation on the importance of staying political engaged in every election. Nadine cries at the polls (any poll! voting, instagram...etc), and Tarini asks everyone labelling themselves as "fiscally conservative, socially liberal" to stop. On a more serious note, they also discuss the killing of Palestinian icon and journalist, Shireen Abu Akleh, and the hypocrisy of the West's response when it comes to crises in Europe versus the rest of the world. If you live in Ontario make sure you vote for the provincial elections on June 2nd (early voting has already started!!! For more information check out the Elections Ontario website)

April 23, 2022 #84: Saturn Has Entered The Chat*
It was Nadine’s birthday this week!!!! Which means she’s one year closer to turning 30. While at one point that may have caused her anxiety (we just can NOT check the next box over on the doctor’s office form that asks your age, IYKYK) with age comes wisdom and this year it’s ~no big deal~ (in the tik tok voice because that’s all Nadine speaks in, again IYKYK). On this week’s episode, Nadine and Tarini also discuss entering your Saturn return - which happens when you enter 27. It’s the time that Saturn returns into the same zodiac that it was in when you were born and is often a time that people go through big changes in their lives. Listen if you feel like you’re also entering your Saturn return and feel like it’s being unfair to you (it’s not, it’s growth!) or to learn about what it even is. Often in life we seek things that give us a sense of security or explanation when we’re going through hard situations - one of those explanations could be your Saturn return (or this episode about it).

April 09, 2022 #83: Give Me A Break
The pandemic taught us many things but one of the most important ones was the need to rest. On this week’s episode, Tarini and Nadine discuss how rest as we know it has evolved over the course of the pandemic. It continues to do so, as things start to reopen and people look towards a “post pandemic” world. Both realities have brought about burnout - whether it’s because of change, not enough connection, or too much connection. And if we aren’t proactive, our bodies force us to rest. But rest isn’t just taking a break- sometimes rest looks like doing more. More of what you enjoy, more of what gives you energy, more of what allows you to show up the way you want to (it could even be listening to YKWIM).

March 26, 2022 #82: We Can’t Keep Up With The Kardashians
The devil works hard but Kris Jenner works harder. Which is probably why the Kardashians have finished (what feels like) their 100th season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians and, before that’s even completed, launched their new show (we don’t know what it is called because we have not kept up with the Kardashians). This week on YKWIM, Tarini and Nadine broach the world of the Kardashians. There’s so much to unpack from the Variety interview to the infamous Pepsi commercial - Nadine and Tarini talk about the impact the Kardashian/ Jenner clan have had on society, their responsibility as mega stars, and our obsession with them as a society.
