• " Sexually independent women Intimidate men..."
    Sep 15 2021

    ** This episode is raw, open, and unapologetic

    Grace Yang from thegraceyang.com and I talk about Patriarchy, our own coming-of-age sexual experiences, and what we have learned from them.

    Grace and I also explore the sexual expectations that come from her being an East Asian woman, and me being a Black male. 

    It's a fun episode. Come with an open mind.

  • Identity...Let's Talk About It
    Sep 8 2021

    In this episode, my friend Borin Chep and I dive deep into the makings of our identities. From being a Black American who's had to learn what his presence means in certain spaces, to my friend who is Second Generation Cambodian American, refugee, and Queer. Together, we reflect on how we got to the points where we currently stand.

  • Perfectionism, Shame and Control
    Sep 1 2021

    Perfectionism, shame, and control play an essential role in our everyday lives from the encounters we have with people, the societal expectations that we place on one another, and especially how we internalize how we are supposed to be.

    In today's episode, I have invited my friend Imagine to help us unpack and understand how exactly these three work together. 

    I would also like to celebrate her work in spiritual wellness, self-love, and liberation work.

    Aug 25 2021

    There is an illusion and fantasy around marriage. People think once you get married, you've made it and everything will magically work out. In this episode, I talk with my good friend Joel Montoya about what a successful marriage looks like and counter some of the myths.

  • Procrastination mixed with Consistency
    Aug 18 2021

    I told myself that I would release new content every Wednesday at 8 am CST. I didn't say the content would be perfect or fabulous. But I'm keeping my word and remaining consistent, even if it's a little sloppy.

  • Hold up.. Positivity can be TOXIC??
    Jul 27 2021

     Positivity is not a one-fix-all remedy for solving problems. All of us need to be validated instead of invalidated.
