Making the decision to change your job could be easy, or extremely difficult! Nevertheless it is a very important decision to make, so how can you tell that it's the right time to switch jobs and whether the new offer is the right one for you?

Join us in this week's episode as we discussed how we made the decision to change our jobs under different circumstances and our changing priorities as we grow older.

We are late to the game, but in this epiosde we are going to be reviewing the show ‘Single’s Inferno’!

Single’s Inferno is a Korean dating show on Netflix, the premise of the show is that they put a group of very attractive single people on an island they called the ‘inferno’, which has very basic amenities, which we think is more like a glamping situation.

They can escape as couples for date nights on another ‘Paradise island’ in the presidential suites of a luxury hotel, if they manage to couple up through voting or wining games.

In this week’s episode, we talk about how this show compare to other dating shows that you have watched. We talk about who we think was a more entertaining couple in the show, and gave our honest opinion on the drama between Se Hoon and So Yeon.

Was Se Hoon overreacting? Or, was So Yeon being indecisive and in the wrong?

We talk about the shocking incident of Se Hoon voting for Ji Yeon for the third time for a date to the paradise, and who among the contestants we like to go out on a lunch date with!

Continuing on the theme of love, the three of us decided to look into the famous "36 questions to fall in love" from the New York Times.  

These questions were first used in a study to explore whether intimacy between two strangers can be quickly built up by asking each other a series of personal questions. These questions are split into three sets, with each set being more personal than the previous one.  Join us in this episode as we answered a selection of questions from this list to test if we feel closer to each other at the end. It was a fun experiment for us! 

For those looking to build a deeper connection with your other half, you can find the questions here (https://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/09/style/no-37-big-wedding-or-small.html). 

Do let us know how you got on!

Happy Valentine's Day! 

In honour of the season of love, in this episode we explore the 5 Love Languages, a concept coined by Gary Chapman in his book, "The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate".  The premise of love language is that in any relationship, we all give love and receive love in different ways. This concept of love language is that there are 5 different ways where people do so: words of affirmation, acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time and physical touch. 

Naturally, most of us would tend to give love in the way that we prefer to receive love, and in fact, the idea here is that we can achieve better communication as couples when we demonstrate care to our significant other in a a "language" that they understand.   Join us in this episode as we talk about our love languages, explore what it means to be defined into different categories of "love", and whether love languages can be applied to all other relationships outside of our romantic relationships.

Our parents made us siblings, we became friends on our own. All three of us grew up with siblings. We have been friends for a long time but we have never shared much about our siblings. This week's episode is emotional (tears were shed), it is vulnerable, raw and fun and it is by far one of our top favourite episodes to record!  

Join us in this episode as we talk about our relationships with our siblings, and the roles they play in our lives. We share our relationships with our siblings in our childhood and how it has changed as we became adults. We talk about some of the most cherished memories we have with our siblings and share things that we have always wanted to tell our siblings but never had the courage to say in person.
