happy new year! it’s a new year, but same me - that’s the mindset we’d like to encourage, at least! in this episode, we discuss new year resolutions and what they mean to us, including how we see the new year as a continuation of the goals we have been previously working on and remembering to celebrate the progress we have made for ourselves despite good and not-so-good outcomes. pour a cup, take a seat, and join us.

it’s (the end of) november, which, for some of us, is movember! we are excited to bring this up as we’ve noticed that there has been more awareness for men’s mental health in recent years - a segment of (men’s) health that we feel has been deeply neglected and also a topic we are passionate about. we share our observations regarding mental health for the men in our life as well as from an asian cultural perspective, and also share advice on how we can encourage those around us to be more understanding and compassionate for the men around us. pour a cup, take a seat, and join us.

when we’re in a serious relationship, it is helpful to set and share common goals - both individually and as a couple. we share different perspectives on what achieving goals together look like, while ensuring we aren’t forgetting about our own aspirations as well. pour a cup, take a seat, and join us.

we return from an (impromptu) hiatus and spend this session doing a love and health check-in to see what we have been up to, along with a friendly reminder that even when people aren’t feeling 100%, they can still be great, inspiring, and touching for others in a different way. pour a cup, take a seat, and join us.

while we have been doing some self-reflection in our last few episodes and discussing how we’ve learned and improved the situations in our lives, there was a time when we lived in discontentment and truly believed that this was as good as it got. in this episode, we open up about how we recognized the hard truth that we were settling for less and decided it was finally time to walk away to give ourselves a better opportunity to find what we deserved. pour a cup, take a seat, and join us.

growing up, we never really understood the concept of “self-love” - the idea simply didn’t exist due to our childhood, upbringing, and cultural background. after having gone through many years of hardship, self-doubt, and grief, we have finally discovered and learned what it truly means to love yourself, and how it means something different for everyone. it is very much a continuous work-in-progress for us, but we have learned that much of it is learning to put yourself first, be kind and forgiving to yourself, and recognize your self-worth. in this episode, we discuss how we came to this self-discovery and share insights on how to love yourself. pour a cup, take a seat, and join us.

sometimes we say yes to others so often that we forget to take a moment to say yes to ourselves. other times, we let fear consume our minds, and we lose ourselves to rejecting any chances of new opportunities, experiences, and happiness. in this episode, we talk about self-love and worth and share different perspectives on recognizing and changing our mindset, setting boundaries, and how to finally say yes (and no) for ourselves. pour a cup, take a seat, and join us.

we take a deeper dive into the latter stages of the job searching process, particularly finding confidence when it comes to discussing and negotiating the offer as well as accepting the job. sometimes, we focus so much on getting a job that we might overlook the things that are important to us, including professional development, work-life balance, and most importantly, our worth. we sit down and discuss ways to mitigate any future dissatisfaction by asking the right questions, setting our priorities straight, and negotiating and accepting the best offer. pour a cup, take a seat, and join us.
