  • what’s name of that feeling of being pessimistic about life and wanting to call it quits early but also not actually wanting to d*e? is it doom? cynicism? hopelessness? in this episode we talk about this unnamed but very strong emotion we’ve been feeling recently. this feeling is also intensified by the ICE raids and immigration issues currently going on in the country, and specifically Los Angeles. we talk about how these raids have been affecting us and our communities, the frustration we feel, and how we move forward.

Will you be attending Coachella?" the answer is no. that ticket is too expensive and we'd rather use that money to buy some stocks instead of putting ourselves through a 5 year payment plan. in this episode we talk about the pressure to keep up socially even when the market is unstable and it feels like there's an incoming recession.

  • this one is for everyone that knows the crushing guilt of going somewhere new or eating at a fancy restaurant and being heartbroken your parents have never experienced it. when classmates were talking about their lawyer or doctor parents, and feeling ashamed to say what your mom or dad did for a living, even if they were the hardest working people you knew. for those who carry the weight of their family with them everywhere they go. we chatted with Biyeni, a first-gen student, as well as Leo Gonzalez to hear about what it’s like growing up as a first generation American.

  • Have you considered quitting therapy? Well, it might actually be a great idea. In this episode, we explore the idea that therapy isn't necessarily a lifelong commitment but rather a dynamic tool to be used when needed. We debate constant introspection may do more harm than good, questioning the fine line between healthy self-awareness and potentially damaging over-analysis. We chat with our friend, Karan Brar, to explore the motivations behind self-reflection, investigating whether it serves as a genuine quest for personal growth or merely as a coping mechanism to navigate the psychological intricacies surrounding the fear of being perceived as flawed, examining societal pressures and the internal narratives that drive this apprehension.

  • whether it's because of a language barrier, political views, or sexuality, many of us have had moments where we wonder if our family truly gets us. if you've ever felt the need to set clear boundaries or even go no contact with your family, this episode is for you. while family is forever, maybe we should get to choose who that family is for us.

  • Are all of our friends broke and in credit card debt or are they actually just that wealthy? We talked with young adults with various degrees of credit card debt to figure out how they found themselves in debt, if they have a path out, and later, bring on a financial therapist to help us understand our relationship with money. We explore the underlying psychology behind impulsive spending, the nuances of consumerism, and gain valuable tips on fostering money self-control. Additionally, we dive into the art of budgeting, offering practical advice to empower you in making informed financial decisions and securing a stable financial future.
