Today's episode is all about understanding the blueprint of humans, especially yourself! I talk a little bit about the significance of astrological natal charts and how that made me a believer of the woo woo before diving into Myers Briggs traits and Enneagram types. I share how understanding yourself and someone else's personality/chart/type can actually maximize your interpersonal relationship potential from work to at home. Lastly, I emphasize how you're as malleable as you want to be as n...
Ah, the famous words of Samantha Jones from Sex & The City, "I love you, but I love me more" has been the motto of my 2025. In today's episode, we discuss my journey with setting boundaries as someone who is an empath and overly understanding pushover. I share how I spent most of this year in slight turmoil with drama that was brought to me (and no I'm not just saying that to avoid accountability) where I had a choice to excuse behaviors just because someone was "in a bad place" or ...
**Reupload, because somehow my file was corrupted again** Today's episode is a yap session again! After updating you all on where I've been and how I'm doing, I dive into current pop culture events from sports to Netflix productions to Taylor Swift's "The Life of a Showgirl" album. I share my unfiltered thoughts about how social media is involved in beef between artists (@ Cardi B and Nicki) and a vessel for useless endeavors.
Bonus points if you know what the title is referencing! Today's episode is a casual yap session about my angsty feels lately about adapting new mindsets and approaches to harsh changes in life followed by our main topic: food and food influencing. I give you my unfiltered stream of conscious thoughts about the pros and cons of food influencers reviewing hot spots or local hole-in-the-walls in NYC and discuss the sentimental feelings I have for food. Lastly, I share a few top-of-mind accounts ...
The obligatory hot girls euro summer trip has finally concluded, meaning it's time to get back to regularly scheduled programming. BUT FIRST, not without a recap of my amazing trip with my girlfriends for my best friend Jenny's wedding! Per the poll results from Instagram, the second hottest topic you requested was women's health and my PCOS journey thus far. After our euro trip recap, we discuss the key differences in men and female bodies. From different hormone cycles to the way our brains...
The most popular topic, money! Today's episode is a bit longer as it's one of the most important topics I've wanted to talk about. Money is both a tool and a weapon depending on the person behind it. This episode is split into two parts. In part one, I talk about how I recovered at 25 from living lavishly paycheck to paycheck keeping up with the Joneses and faking it till I made it to a certain income bracket. Please note that I am not a financial advisor or in the field! I am merely sh...
Summer allergies got the best of me, so forgive me if I sound very congested and hoarse. Given the state of my voice, I opted for a more low key and casual catch up episode this week. Grab a snack and hop on a "phone call" with me as I yap about my gardening thoughts, Mercury Retrograde victimizing me, content creators, some milestone / retail therapy purchases, end of summer plans, and what it's like living with a boy (ew). We'll be back on regular scheduled programming with the topic of fin...
**RE-UPLOADED DUE TO CORRUPTED FILE ISSUE YESTERDAY* I'm back from a quick (unplanned) summer hiatus! Apologies for the delay as I had to take a week off while dogsitting and another when sick. Today's episode is all about my observations of corporate culture changes, impact of society/social media on corporate culture and marketing tactics, and the dynamic between women in the workforce. I discuss how pop culture, woke culture, and cancel culture have shaped marketing campaigns lately as wel...
The episode you've all been waiting for... let's talk modern love and relationships! We discuss the common themes in modern dating and how we have to work to unlearn and heal through our 20s and 30s. I explain why you often hear phrases like "Work on yourself" or "Don't chase, attract" or "He'll come when you're not looking" and the hard truths behind it. Then I discuss the hardships of healing in a healthy relationship when all you know is toxicity and emotional abuse. Lastly, I give you a s...
Happy Birthday, America! Today's episode leading up to the July 4th weekend touches upon a few topics. First, we touch base on my opinion about what I believe is the best course of action for people with platforms during politically volatile times. I also discuss what it means to be American to me. After, we talk about the difficulties of taking the high road when people create multiple potholes for you along the way. At the end of the day, you can never expect people to perform higher than t...
Girls, it's our time to take over sports! In this episode, I dive into the power females have over sports leagues from viewership to the spending power and sponsorships we bring in from a consumer psychology standpoint. I use Formula 1, my sport of choice, as an example for how females have changed the landscape for the sport and sport revenue. It is beyond something as simple as jersey sales like Taylor Swift did for Travis Kelce because there is more to this than copying and pasting f...
KNICKS IN 6!!!!!!!! jk. In today's episode, I discuss my mixed feelings about my beautiful city feeling a bit less united lately. From the changes I've seen since living here two summers 2015 & 2016 and moving here full time shortly after to through COVID to now, it is a little disappointing to see this place become divisive and isolated into social bubbles. New York was a place for misfits, creatives, disruptors, ambitious dreamers, and those who didn't belong anywhere who wanted to find...
Happy Pride month!!! Now let's all bake a cake with rainbows and smiles and love each other. Today we chat about my busy week/weekend and my inner child's love for carnivals before diving into the main topic: managing and respecting differences just in time for Pride. Lately, a theme across all my conversations with friends is how is it possible that I have so many friends with opposite viewpoints politically, socially, religiously, and of such different backgrounds and personalities. While t...
It do be like that sometimes, yk? Today's episode is a fully unscripted unfiltered unedited phone call to a friend kinda chat where I sit down and just ramble about what's on my mind. I share the lore of our MDW cruise trip and then dive into deep water of my emotions lately. Life has been a weird uncomfortable limbo where a lot of things are occurring at once, nothing terrible but nothing that leaves you feeling good about anything. I walk through the types of coping mechanisms we often fall...
This episode is dedicated to my family, especially my parents, who I appreciate more and more every year for everything they equipped my arsenal for life with. Happy AAPI month! This week, we are diving into my personal experiences as a first generation female Asian American from growing up in the 90s/2000s to understanding how to break generational habits and trauma as an adult. I chat about the obstacles this specific generation of American-born Asians go through from managing expecta...
Huang Gang or die. JK JK. Shoutout to all of my friends - past, present, and future - who shaped me into the woman I am today! This episode is because of you :) Let's talk about the trials and tribulations of adult friendships. There are circumstantial friendships (ones you make in school, when it's situational, etc.) and substantial friendships (ones that last because you both nurture it). Your 20s are where you'll find yourself building or breaking these relationships. Today, I share ...
Met Gala, Coachella, that random b*tch's outfit over there at the bar... We're all judging the first impression from outfits to the whole vibe. Most conversations you have out in the wild will eventually center around an art of expression. Whether you're talking about fashion, music, TV show, movie, book, a piece of art and so forth, you're usually hoping to bond with someone over something that speaks to you. While humanity is shallow by default, our souls will always crave a connection with...
Oh look who it is... moi! After 2.5 years of a random and unexpected hiatus here, I am making yet (another) comeback. This time, I'm hopeful I'll stick around. Before we get into a myriad of much more interesting topics on the docket, I need to reintroduce myself and tell you all where I've been since end of 2022 and why the years have aged me like fine wine (hopefully? lol). Welcome back to Et Cetera, the fully developed frontal lobe version!!!

In a mountain range, there are many peaks and valleys. In your life, you are also going to have many peaks and valleys. We are so driven by societal pressure to constantly be at our best that we forget to ask ourselves between the hustling: are we actually happy? Do these goals and paths make us feel fulfilled or purposeful? In this episode, I discuss the truth behind "peaking" in life and how we can easily continue to "peak" if we find ourselves stuck in a valley. Don't forget to stay update...
