Does society merely value appearances? Should we treat someone differently because of how they look?

To live the life of an introvert is like experiencing a whole different perspective in life—less social interaction and finding happiness in solitude.

"Schools are closed but learning must continue" In this episode, we will be joined by our guests, Anna, a senior high school student, and Iris, a graduating college student, as we talk about their experiences and struggles as a student and how they are still slogging and trying their best to learn amidst this challenging time.

One year ago today, our first episode on Behind The Grit was listened to by very few listeners (mostly our closest friends) on Anchor and Spotify and surprisingly, it was followed by more and more episodes. At first, we were just souls searching for an escape from the noise of the world. We just want to express our thoughts and share our battlecries without any judgement from others and YES, a year ago today, we found that safe place in podcast—Behind The Grit podcast and the rest is history. Now, who would have thought that we will be celebrating our 1st anniversary? BTG had really come a long way and it was all worth it. Happy 1st Anniversary, BTG! Thank you to our listeners, guests (soon), and to all the people who are rooting for us since we started this podcast. We really appreciate your love and support.  Cheers to more ingay and kwentuhan on our podcast! Lovelots, Raqs, Nins, and Sharie

When our thoughts fail to transform into positive action, we will find ourselves drowning into overthinking. Let's stop dwelling into unnecessary thoughts and get things done. Think with the purpose of having a solution because overthinking a problem will not solve a problem.   Join Sharie on our 10th episode as she explains why overthinking causes no good to people. This is our last episode for Season so please tune in.

In these trying times, empathy is something we should all give to people especially to those who are struggling. Also, we must all allow ourselves to heal and recover. Give yourself a huge favor.
