we get it, it's hard to make friends as adults. especially as girls, we were taught to always compete with other girls and gossip where it feels impossible to find true girlfriends in your 20s. in this solo episode, mohuya talks about how to find and maintain those female friends when you move out of your hometown or outgrow old friendships. this episode is peak girlhood and i hope this video finds u in the algorithm if you're also on the same boat of trying to find ur people :)

ever had a 'cringey' moment in high school that you could never say out loud? well us too, except we're gonna tell you because we can laugh about it now and so you don't feel as alone. we got stories ranging from doing 5 talent shows in one sitting just to look cool in front of our classmates to buying the same prom dress as someone else, and everything else in between. high school is such a small portion in our lives, so there's no point to delve on the past when there's so much more look forward to. we hope u enjoy!!

y'all LOVED part one of this, so we had to come back stronger with part two of relationship red flags that you have to be wary of. this includes avoiding extreme mama's boys, guys that pay for everything just so they can have control over you, girls who have unsupportive friends, and also people who use too much social media...????some of these are also quite common in traditional, south asian relationships so cue the hot takes in this episode...t y'all need to listen before you commit to any relationship or even a friendship. enjoy!

we made fun of our mom's routines and hated making our bed growing up, but like maybe.... our parents were onto something. now that we're older, we have small self care routines and habits that may seem 'annoying' to do, but make the world of a difference when you're having those rough mental health days. things like washing the dishes before bed so you don't have to worry about it in the morning or waking up an hour before your usual time to have "me time" can be so beneficial for your current and future selves. if ur in a rut, hope this episode gives you some inspo on some small routines you can follow :)

growing up with money trauma and lack of financial security can cause south asians to end up super frugal or super reckless with their money, and in this episode, we explore the latter! whether its wanting to show off to family back home, suffering from poor money management, or just wanting to finally indulge in luxuries you were never granted, our community (including mashnun) could really use some help with their poor spending habits. do you really need that 3rd coffee or that $25 chicken sandwich for lunch? the answer is yes but enjoy the episode regardless!!! :)

mental health is a huge brush stroke topic that we hit on every now and then, but we finally chose to spend an episode talking bout how the two of us learned bout our own diagnosed (and ongoing diagnosing) mental health conditions. even though this kinda stuff can be tough to talk about we know it can be super relatable for our listeners and we should celebrate more normalized conversations bout it in the first place!! mashnun talks about his adhd, mohuya talks about her ocd, and we share the signs and symptoms we recognized that pushed us towards diagnosis. we hope you enjoy and we hope you're taking of your mental health most importantly <3
