22 is an interesting age: some of us are married, some of us are working full time, some are still going to frat parties, and some still have to ask their parents if they leave the house for any occasion. Here is my #girlchat conversation with Subtle Asian Traits co-founder, Angela Kang: our experiences being the oldest child/big sisters in an immigrant household, sneaking out to parties, strange Chinese superstitions, and more!!

... it's also what you watch, what you listen to, what you read, the people you hang out with, what you buy, and anything else you consume in this life. A healthy emotional and spiritual diet is just as important to your wellbeing and overall health. I talk about unhealthy social media practises, who NOT to spend your time with, and how 'retail therapy' is anything but therapy.

Ghosting is the act of stopping ALL communication with someone with zero warning or explanation, one of the most confusing things that can happen to us when dating people who didn't deserve us in the first place! My guest and I share stories about the times we have ghosted, been ghosted, getting blocked on social media, and our vulnerable but very real heartbreak stories.

Some of us would rather be at home instead of at networking events with hundreds of people (back when in-person was still a thing); I am also some of us. My guest today is a technical recruiter at a well-known gaming company in Vancouver, BC and he's here to spill the tea on how to impress HR recruiters on LinkedIn, form professional relationships during this online world admits COVID, and how to be be OK with being the centre of attention when you hate attention.

Imagine this: you see a cute girl in her early 20's carrying her university textbooks, wearing a tube top and ripped jeans. You finally gather the courage to ask her out and she says, "no thanks, I'm married." Yes you heard it. My conversation with a newly wedded 23 year old about her first year of marriage; more than half of it spent during a global PANDEMIC, being forced to be in quarantine with her new husband, and the stigma attached to getting hitched at a young age.

What's more awkward: running into your ex or your ex best friend?? There are unlimited movies and TV shows that depict the pain from breakups; but when it comes to the end of friendships, it's confusing and often more frustrating. I talk about some of my own friendship breakups ;( That being said, hug the friends you do have and do as much as you can to be there for them!! (INSTAGRAM: @_wendz)

Learning about living with an undiagnosed mental disorder from my guest, who spent all 21 years of her life not knowing she had ADHD the entire time. How she found empowerment through her diagnosis, how she endured academia in a system that is catered to kids with "normal" brains, and many other questions we discuss that can be educational, relatable, or inspiring for all different types of listeners.

I was reflecting on some of the ways life will never be the same again, and I talk about the reasons I'm SO GLAD life will never be the same again. Ms. Rona is stupid and needs to leave our society alone, but at least she brought some good changes to our 'new normal'.

Daniel Ko has a condition called Muscular Dystrophy, but he is much more than that; especially in his brother's eyes. Listen in on my conversation with UBC student Michael Ko, about how his love and respect for Daniel turned into the invention of a voice-controlled self driving wheelchair.
