#38 - Lighting the Darkness with Mimi Chao (mimochai)

11/16/17 • 59 min

Perfectly Imperfect with Christine and Regina

We’re too often told to stay positive! Think happy thoughts! Don’t dwell in the negative! And while this can be great advice to help deal with life's woes, how do we approach it authentically so that resentment and anger don't take over? In many aspects of our lives, we suppress a lot of feelings and emotions in order to move on and "be positive". Sometimes it’s for survival, other times it becomes a way of life. But it doesn't mean those "bad" emotions are really gone! This week, our fairy soul sister Mimi Chao joins us as we explore the many ways we have dealt with the suppression of negatives memories from past experiences and how the consequences have affected our lives. We also dive into how we are currently processing all the horrific news happening daily in today's political climate from Harvey Weinstein, Trump, to the devastating Sutherland Springs shooting. How do we find happiness when there is negativity everywhere?!

#37 - Risking it All with Liah Yoo (liahyoo)

Working in corporate gets a bad rep, while pursuing the creative path can be glorified. This week, we invite our incredibly sweet friend Liah Yoo to talk about the difference between these two worlds because she's done both! She studied architecture and design, but then got a corporate job to work for Korea's biggest skincare brand (Amore Pacific), and now she's a full time YouTuber??? Liah's story is the perfect example of how life can throw some pretty surprising curveballs, but every experience leads you one step closer to where you're supposed to be so long as you understand your purpose. We share the realities of working the 9-5 corporate job vs. the create-your-own-schedule freelancer. And answer questions like: what were the signs that told us which world was better suited for us & when is it time to make a change to take that risk?

#39 - Playas Gon Play with Joanna Sotomura (joannasotomura)

No one likes to talk about being cheated on or cheating on someone. When the foundation of any relationship is trust and that trust is broken through cheating, lies, broken promises, and crossed boundaries (again and again and again), what the EFF do we do? We want to dive into the heartbreak as well as the consequences of being cheated on, lied to, and how we can learn to build ourselves back up + set better boundaries. This week, our sista love who always keeps things real, Joanna Sotomura joins us in this super difficult and complicated topic. We share our stories of being cheated on as well as being the cheater in past relationships... and of course, our lessons through some of the hardest times of our lives.
