vs Eating Healthy
K-Town Rumble
08/16/20 • 48 min
Janet and Brian are both very much into food. This is in a foodie-type way as well as from a health-conscious perspective. They talk about the changes in their eating habits since the beginning of lockdown and social distancing. They discuss the “quarantine 15”, stress eating, Asian (cultural) relationship with food, dieting, (not) meal prepping, and how it all relates to health.
They also get into how physical appearance is a significant driver in Korea in terms of the “dieting” that often trends alongside how celebrities are portrayed in media and how it relates to the standards of beauty. Sharing their experience with many of the diets they have tried (including whole-food plant-based vegan), like so many, they’ve come to the conclusion that having a balanced diet means different things for different people. Expect some tips as well as to how they make eating some of the major staples of Korean food as easy and accessible as possible. When it comes down to it, making it easy to do the things you want to do gives you more opportunities to do the things you want to do including eating healthy. Janet shares how she negotiated her way to a Korean side dish subscription.

TMT: Classic Asian Parent Forcing Child to Study
K-Town Rumble
10/20/20 • 25 min
Woah, there is nothing "classic" about this. There are tiger parents and then there is this next-level of authoritarian upbringing. Janet and Brian hear this story of an Asian teenager with some extremely controlling parents to the extent that it is not ok. Trigger warning on this episode because even hearing the original post sounds like a horror story scenario.

vs Anxiety
K-Town Rumble
12/21/20 • 47 min
Hearing the word “anxiety” is something way too familiar for 2020, but it was a problem even before the pandemic hit.
It’s been an epidemic brought on by loft expectations from chasing lofty goals expecting to get them sooner than everybody else. Well, that’s what the majority of us were taught anyway. It’s time to normalize talking about it.
In this episode, Janet and Brian both open up about their experiences with anxiety and explore why it may be that Asian cultures tend to avoid or repress the notion that such issues even exist.
They also share some of the methods they’ve used to address their struggles dealing with anxiety.

Intervene in somebody else’s relationship? Janet and Brian share their ideas about when it could be appropriate or inappropriate to get involved. Though, it’s rarely as simple as that. In this situation, you’re going to be hearing about two people that are coworkers where one of them is in a toxic relationship. The other wants to help, but doesn’t know whether or not if it’s appropriate to do so.
Is it your responsibility to help somebody if you are aware of how bad a situation is and they don’t? Shouldn’t you get involved if somebody needs help? Listen in to hear the discussion!
